Computer Running Slow

Yes. Sorry.

I ran the Blend test for about 13 minutes, because that was the default and I have no idea how long the whole thing was going to run for and didn't want to be sitting around for hours.

CPU stuck at -1 the entire time, dropping to -30 after the test was stopped.
GPU wandered between 44 and 45, and between a green tick and a red up arrow. It's still at 44.
Internal Temp was 48 the entire time, switching between a red up arrow and a green tick. It's currently at 50, with a tick...and as I type that, it switches to fire.
Temp3 and Temp4 both had fire the entire time, between 58 and 62. Temp3 is still around 60, but Temp4 is up to 69.

The red "overheating" light was on on the motherboard for the duration of the test, but not before or after.

Is this enough information, or should I leave it run for longer/run something else? And if so, do you know how long it takes?


EDIT: Internal temp up to 51. Seems odd that these things are climbing now, after having held steady during the test.


EDIT 2: Approximately 45 minutes after the test, GPU is still alternating between red arrow and tick, 41-42. Internal is back down to 48, with a tick. CPU still at -31, with a blue down arrow. Temp3 and Temp4 still have fires, at 53 and 67 respectively.

The gpu sounds normal. They run hotter than the cpu anyway. I'm not sure what is going on with the overheating so I suggest that you take it to a technician. I'm sorry but there is only so much we can do here.

I have to agree with Townsbg. As I mentioned earlier, you could try reinstalling all the drivers for your motherboard. It's pretty obvious your CPU isn't getting enough cooling.

I suggest you to do the following things because they should speed-up your PC:

• Remove useless startup programs (either by using CCleaner or msconfig)
• Install any updates and run an malware cleaning software (like MalwareByte's antimaware Free)
• Clean temporary files by using CCleaner
• Remove useless programs from your computer

Took it in, got it looked at. They rotated the power supply so it wasn't blowing air straight onto the graphics card and removed the dust.

The 40-hour encode got done in three and a half hours. The overheat light was still on the entire time, but the machine is still running.

An overheating graphics card will BSOD but an overheating CPU will shut down the system. It sounds like there's still some kind of cooling problem. Perhaps the case exhaust fans aren't removing the heat fast enough.

I'm glad you're able to get your work done. Hopefully, your problem is solved.
