Hi Everyone,

I have had my pc for about 3 years and when I first purchased it and set it up everything worked great. It was until I shut it down that i received the the error that it is Over Temperature Error! See image (20200403). I was young and dumb and decided not to take it back to bestbuy where I bought it at and decided to just role with it. I am able to shut it off for about 5 minutes when the message comes up and turn it on and it boots up perfectly fine. I never have an incident where I am playing games and it shuts off, only when I decide to do an update that requires a restart that it comes on, or if the update takes longer it will popup.

I ended up doing a realtemp test and these were my results... Are there any other tests you recommend me doing/ any other thing I should do to be able to get this error gone for good? Thanks in advance.

Benchmark Scores Faster than yours... I'd bet on it. :)
Air cooled right? Wondering if the PC my have gotten bumped and jarred the heatsink off?

Regardless, I'd reseat the heatsink or something. 100c idle... yikes.
