Alright, here's the fun part....
First, i'll start off stating what I have on the machine so you know what I'm dealing with.
GeForce GTX 580, version 335.23
Intel Core i7 920
EVGA x58 SLI Classified motherboard
I built this computer specifically for gaming. Star Wars the Old Republic, naturally. But whenever I'd play the game, after an amount of time it would shut off randomly and restart. After a month of this, I went into the BIOS and I would start seeing if I could find SOMETHING to tell me why my computer kept shutting off. Then I saw this...
Naturally, I'd like you all to take notice of my NB Temperature, at a PAINFUL 122 Celcius. Ouch.
This prompted some more investigation (with the computer still running) and Now i have these next two pictures, courtesy of CPUID HWMonitor and SpeedFan.
In that third picture, i'd like to make a few points... First, at 213 degrees celcius, the inner workings of any machine should be melting into a puddle. Also, at -42 Degrees celcius, it should be almost frozen to the touch. But, together.... I'm a bit confused.
My initial thoughts are that the thermal pasting for the Northbridge ports regarding the motherboard have come loose, or that my sensors are going haywire... I'm out of thoughts and ideas to resolve this. Help?
