sounds like what mine used to do when it was overheating

what should i do?

 

[Benwen]

first thing i would do is make sure you keep the dust clean.... dust can act like an insulator and make everything that gets really hot, even hotter. thats all my problem was..

LA LA LAAAAAAA
Buy compressed air
Blow out ALL your fans including PSU....
If you need it you may have to get a new CPU fan that has a faster RPM
CPU overheating is easy to fix

It can act as an insulator and it can also cause intermittence contact between pins or connectors.
