PC randomly overheating

[Ajaydev Singh]

I was gone for 1 hour. I came back  and see my pc was making loud fan noise and touch the case it was hot. I turned the PC off and unplug.

Can anyone help me with this idk this happened randomly this is the first time this happening.

check your temps.

Turn off your OC if your computer is overheating or get a better cooler!

I dont have a overclocking cpu i7 4770S cpu cooler with 212 evo. It have never overheated before and normally at 40C and full load 60C

Clean dust and add more exhaust and intake fans

[Ajaydev Singh]

I checked the dust there is no dust and i cleaned dust like a month ago i have a Med Tower Fractal Design Define R4 with 1 intake fan in fount, 1 back each 140mm

Clean dust in cooler, reseat the cooler and apply new thermal paste, preferably artic silver 5 , or nt h1

Check your temps on a monitoring software and post the images here.

To test what its truly oveheating stress test the GPU and then the CPU, if the temps go above 80C on any of them then you might have a problem.

Test and post results for next instructions.

Where's the fan noise coming from? Power supply issue?? Only thing I can think of at the moment that'd create a hot PC case

If I game for more than 2 hours my case gets hot. Not super hot, but definitely hotter than when I don't game.

Let's wait for the results of the CPU and GPU stress tests so we can exclude them and then focus on possible RAM, PSU and MoBo problems.

About fan noise its just louder then normal maybe because more heat

[slipperymoss]

blow all dust out check all fans resteat thee cpu cooler new thrmeal paste etc its probley justa random thing

The CPU temps are perfectly safe.

As I said, not going over 80C is OK.

Have you stressed the GPU?

Are the fans new?

If yes, try changing the fan curve on the UEFI.

Another thing, the Intel stock cooler normally starts deteriorating after 2 years heavy usage. Mine can't keep my CPU bellow 80C in any modern games anymore. I'm just waiting for my new MoBo to arrive so I can install a cheapo Hyper t4 I have.

[Jimmybiggs]

Again guys - missing things

When gaming GPU uses more power. If it's happening whist gaming the heats dissipated by the gpu or PSU.

What PSU/GPU are you running? Back to my original gut feeling... PSU issue.

Thought... If the gpu is asking for more power, and the PSU is not supplying efficiently or on its way out... Heat & fan noise

[SaladFingers]

The CPU temps are still on the safe side, although they look more like something you would get from getting a good amount of usage or full load.

 

What processes do you leave running when you leave your PC to idle? Any virus scanner doing its thing? Any Boinc client that is set to work when you're away that you forgot about?

 

Otherwise, make sure the case is clean from dust and that there's a good amount of airflow.

 

Last but not least, reseat your CPU and check the thermal paste, it could be dried out. Also check the fans of the cooler to make sure they aren't filled with dust either.

[Universal_Cereal_Bus]

I think those temps are his idle temps... Some task is consuming 15% constantly. And 63 degrees is not very good for that load.

 

It would make sense that the fan would run that loudly on a higher load task. I'd say clean out all your programs. You might even have a virus of sorts. Or it could be your anti-virus.

I have cleaned the cooler. It was very even but i cleaned it anyways. I did add artic silver  5 thermal paste

Yes i have stressed tested the gpu.

The fans on the gpu are stock running gtx 760 OEM

I am not using the intel stock cooler. I am using cooler master evo.
