PC turns off automatically

[LarsKoppejan]

Hello, 

 

My name is Lars Koppejan 14 years old and I live in the Netherlands.

Sorry for my English...

I am new to this forum so if i am doing something wrong please tell me.

 

 

PC Specs:

 

CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 955

Cooler: CM Seidon

Graphic card: ATI Radeon 5700

MOBO: Asrock 830 Extreme3

RAM: 4 GB DRR3 From Geil, 8 GB DDR3 From G. Skill

HDD: Samsung 1 TB 7200 RPM, Samsung 500 GB 7200 RPM (both all most full)

PSU: XFX TS 600 Watt

Case: Some random case

 

 

The problem:

 

My dad's pc turns off automatically, without any warning.

It does not do any shut down sequens or anything.

It also doesn't turn back on Automatically.

Also the PC is very slow, is this due to a broken CPU or maybe a malware infection or a virus. (this is very good possible, "clean system up" I know but my Father doesn't have time for it.)

 

My dad used to use the stock head sink. but it got so hot that it shut itself down. 

It got to like 90 degrees Celsius, it did not thermal throttle at all.

My father bought a Cooler Master Seidon.

 

What we all ready tried;

 

The first thought was a dead PSU, so my father bought a new PSU, a XFX TS 600 watt (I beleave).

This didn't work.. he bought  8 GB ram DDR3 in addition to the 4 GB that were allready in the pc. it only showed 4 GB ram instead of 12 GB.

It was cosed by a broken slot, my father bought the exactly the same motherboard and that seemed to work.

The PC showed 12 GB ram and it worked fine, but every so often it still turns off without any warning or shut down sequens.

Oh and I also just updated the BIOS, I am not sure if it fixed it.

 

When  we switched the motherboard it turned out that there was way to many thermal compound... 

I asked if we should clean it off a bit but didn't thought it was needed.

He put the head sink back on and the thermal paste leaked on the pins.

We cleaned it off the best we could.

 

So Is the CPU dead due to overheating(that thing that happened with the thermal compound was after the problem showed up)

We basically replaced everything but the CPU...

 

Lars Koppejan,

 

P.S. Please no jokes about amd stuff getting hot, I know, it was probably not a very good idea with that stock headsink.....

Lars Koppejan,

i would suggest running a pass on prime95. if that cause it to shutdown then i hate to break it to you but the cpu needs replacing.
