I have an old build that recently the CPU is running very hot and shutting down when doing anything processor intensive.
CPU is an AMD 64 X2 4200+: 2200 MHz - it is running at stock speed
Have cleaned and reseated the heatsink / fan for CPU and its running around 39-42 C at idle, jumps up to 56-58 C very fast under moderate load - could it be just the fact that the CPU is getting old that is causing the heat issues?
Pretty much can't play any games on it because it gets too hot and shuts down, thankfully Mobo has overtemp shut-off function so it still works, but thinking it might be toast anyway.
Any input would be appreciated.
