Adding to this, on the software side - it could be corrupted applications on startup/background, drivers or even bios. Also, once had an old laptop which overheated when fast startup was on.Old dried out thermal paste, dust, clogged fans, bad CPU cooler mount etc.
You mean, you shut down from the OS and leave the power switch on, and it was running hot before you even boot the system back on!?I powered off the computer for the night but in the morning it is still running hot.
Software cannot make a system overheat. It can make it run hot but not hotter than a stress test.Adding to this, on the software side - it could be corrupted applications on startup/background, drivers or even bios. Also, once had an old laptop which overheated when fast startup was on.
Software can make a system overheat when one is running some cpu benchmark tool like prime95, cinebench etc. or some massive zip/rar operations.Software cannot make a system overheat. It can make it run hot but not hotter than a stress test.
I advise you to read again what I wrote, especially the second statement.Software can make a system overheat when one is running some cpu benchmark tool like prime95, cinebench etc. or some massive zip/rar operations.
CPU overheat can also occur due to malwares running hidden in the system constantly hogging resources causing the temps to shoot up like anything.
I read hence my second statement on it.. I used 3ds max/maya etc. and they too stress your cpu to its limit and they are as good as prime95 like tools. So even a render job will test any OC settings.I advise you to read again what I wrote, especially the second statement.
Don't quite understand what you're saying, but I think you assume stress tests make the system do the max computing possible. This is not exactly true. Stress tests are designed to safely find the max computing a system can do without crashing or failure. When the software is corrupt, it could be boundless and might try to keep on computing things it's not designed to handle, hence heating up more than a stress test would allow it to.It can make it run hot but not hotter than a stress test.
I found out what was going on. I got some malware loaded onto chrome as a browser extension. I fell for a scam where I as asked to identify that I was not a bot by clicking on "allow" and there was some malware running in the background. I am seeing if this is really a fix. But, anyway, here are my specs:System specs?
Can you further elaborate please?I fell for a scam where I as asked to identify that I was not a bot by clicking on "allow" and there was some malware running in the background.
Not true. Corrupt software doesn't stress system at all because it crashes. Boundless ones will stress only a core which is nothing. Major janta won't even notice it.Don't quite understand what you're saying, but I think you assume stress tests make the system do the max computing possible. This is not exactly true.

OK, you asked. So, I saved a lot of URL's in a file because of some research I was doing. Anyway, apparently, one of those URL's (you know, website addresses) that I got from my search engine investagation was a very bad website where some bad people were doing some really underhanded things. I will explain:Can you further elaborate please?
