Hey essenbe, thanks for the reply.
I'm using a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo Direct Touch 4 Heatpipe Heatsink.
When I'm idling, or doing some minor computer work the temps are between 30 and 40 (right now it's 37) and I went three seconds into the prime95 test and stopped because the temps were scaring me.
I've also uninstalled (hopefully) Asus AI Suite with the cleaning utility you linked me to
How high did temps get in Prime? The temps should go pretty high. That's what stress tests do.
They immediately jumped to 75, and then went up about a degree a second to 82 before I stopped it
Do you think you need to repaste and reinstall the CPU Cooler? They shouldn't get that high that fast. That is a pretty hot running CPU you have, But with that cooler and not overclocked, I wouldn't think they would be that high, that quick.
It's definitely a little odd. I do still have thermal paste, however how do I clean the old thermal paste off? Rubbing alcohol? And I really don't know. I know when I did the initial build my temps were beautiful and low with the cooler. This is a more recent problem
Hey Essenbe,
I've done it following the video. Should I wait until I get another BSOD or do another prime95 test?
We'll need to just wait, I think. But, I would suggest keeping a close watch on your CPU temps.
So unfortunately, I got another blue screen of death again today. Just running a matlab script and it crashed.
What are your CPU and GPU temps? What case and case fans do you have? If you are overclocking anything, set everything to default levels. List in your system specs the Case, PSU and CPU cooler as well as what fans are on the CPU cooler. Get a can of compressed air and clean out all of the dust from any dust filters, fans and radiators you have. Disconnect all USB devices from your computer except the Keyboard and mouse.
