Pc problem

Jul 15, 2016 8:33AM PDT

If left idle my pc will shut down randomly, I have looked online and it looks like it is over heating, I'm not a big pc builder so I don't know my parts all that well. I need someone to tell me if it is over heating BF how to fix it (Ik my case is a X-Titan and I have a liquid cooled mother board)

Checked The Temps Yet?

If not, try running the free program below.. Let us know the temps you find. Although it's liquid cooled, have you applied thermal paste correctly? (Artic makes some good stuff.) Made sure any fans are running as needed?
