So last night my PC randomly shuts off... didn't think much of it, until it did it again a few minutes later. Let it sit for a while, fired it back up and kept an eye on the core temps (8120 says MAX safe temp is 61*c).
Processor is using stock cooler and is NOT OC'd
I'll idle at 33*c and out of know where all cores jump to like 45*c (sometimes as high as 50*c) for a few seconds and back down.
I started battlefield to see what that would do and very quickly would approach 70*C.
... any reason for the crazy jumps and spikes?
I assume it might be time to re-apply thermal paste, any other things to try first?
