Hi guys I just got finished building my new computer, what's strange is that it seems to be overheating at an alarming pace. To the point that my BIOS is stopping windows and warning me about the overheat. It's not just the software either, I can feel the heat from the cpu (thing actually burnt my finger when i touched it.) I've applied thermal paste to it twice and for good measure I even applied it to the fan that fits on top of the cpu. Worse still is that it's now telling me that a power surge was recently detected. This is a brand new set of hardware. What did I do wrong? Did I just get a bad processor? Or was I an idiot and just doomed my computer?
