System randomly reboots if BIOS set to High Performance

Bruno Braga

Hello, Community.

 

My system randomly reboots if I have the BIOS setting to High Performance.

BIOS setting, not to be confused with Energy Setting (this one is also on High Performance).

 

Does anyone know a way I can troubleshoot this to see what's causing it?

 

Some details:

Windows 10 Pro 64bit

Motherboard Asus P8Z77-V LX

 

I thought about updating BIOS but that seems like an advised action.

 

What do you guys think?

 

Thanks for your time!

 

EDIT:

More details:

 

I'm on a fresh install of Windows (1 week ago) with a new SSD and the problem already existed prior to this.

Hi, thanks for your answer.

 

I'm not sure what you mean by clocked at, by this is my cpu's speed:

have you change that bios setting to see what it does and what do you mean by high performance like your mother board or cpu?

I'm talking about this setting:

And in fact, with the setting on Optimal and the PC just starting, the CPU Speed goes over 4.00 GHz (on task manager).

And the temperature goes to 100ºC

 

It most likely is overheating.
