My secondary Q9300 @ 3.0, with HD4850, has been hard at work crunching PrimeGrid, and I wonder if the (temp.) load is just too much for it.
CoreTemp measured the cores having a max temp of 77C, and GPU-Z records the HD4850 at 6000RPM and 97C.
I think that it is more likely that the GPU is overheating than the CPU.
The HD4850 normally runs that hot, 90C+. I think 110C is shutdown temp, not sure though.
Wondering about the PSU and VRM temps too.
The PSU is a few years old, it's an Antec VP-450, which should be enough juice.
Note that when I've checked on it the last two days, I've found that it has rebooted on it's own. It did not shutdown, however.
