This afternoon, I used the tuneup test from the catalyst vision engine control center. It started and my fan was gaining speed, getting to 5000 RPM before my PC instantly shut down.
Wondering what just happened, I restarted my PC, but this time, after the boot, the CPU fan was still going crazy at about 3500 RPM. I managed to log in to Windows, checked, but the tuneup and the CPU overclocking are disabled. Then, I noticed there is something weird going on with my CPU.
If I startup Skype or Chrome, the processor instantly turns to 100% load .. even typing in a textbox goes with the speed of a turtle... while before the abrupt shutdown, my processor wouldn't even come near 60% load while running multiple programs.
I'm using the AMD FX 6200 octa-core 3.8 GHz.

- software problem. If you really want to check your CPU you can run Prime95, but what you describe is most certainly a software problem. – Breakthrough – 2013-06-18T19:56:24.1273Did you give it time to cool down (1/2 hour) before restarting? – Fiasco Labs – 2013-06-18T21:10:24.757
