Re: CPU unstability!! Help
OK, for starters, what cpu? 59C idle is way too high and I'm not surprised 74C is causing shutdowns either because that is near the top end of the thermal scale for cpu's.
Have you checked for dust build up in the heatsink / fan vanes?
How long has the TT fan been on there?
You say it is adjustable, do you have it on max rpm when this happens?
If you have just fitted it, does this come with it's own heatsink or is it attached to the stock heatsink? my first thought is that the heatsink is not mounted properly, therefore is it not making contact with the core and not cooling as it is supposed to.
Can you describe the method you used to attach the TT fan (cooler) and what thermal compound you used? (if you did indeed reseat the heatsink)
Your case appears to have plenty of fans so my first thought is the TT cooler/ heatsink set up.
