Can you hook it up to a lead from the PSU in order to test it?
Hello, I got it to work. I tried PRIME95, temperatures are pretty much the same, but the computer did not freeze.
How come that the temps are the same but it didn't freeze? Just coincidence?
It's possible that another component (one that may not have a sensor) is overheating.
Try seeing if anything else is excessively hot.
The next time it occurs, unplug the system from the wall.
Hold onto the metal of the case with one hand.
CAREFULLY feel around inside the case (don't actually touch anything - just come close).
You're feeling for something that is significantly hotter than the CPU and/or GPU (or if either of them feel too hot to touch safely).
