PC cpu overheating problem
I’m at my wits end and am begging for help from anybody who can provide it. My prebuilt pc is only a little over 3 years old. The cpu overheats pretty much as soon as I boot up. Over time I noticed idle cpu temp would go up from 70c to 75 then eventually to 80. Now it idles at 85c at first boot up, reaches 90+ within a couple minutes and automatically shuts down. At first I thought it was a dust problem, cleared the dust off all fans, especially the cpu cooler. Then to be extra sure, I wiped off the old thermal paste and reapplied it. Needless to say, it didn’t work. I’m thinking the next possible reason is a faulty cpu cooler but thought it wouldn’t fail after three years only.
Another thing I noticed is that the gpu’s fans will start spinning when I turn the computer on, but as soon as I get to the Home Screen, the fans will stop spinning. Is it possible a faulty gpu will lead to the cpu taking on extra stress of displaying graphics, leading to higher temps? I can’t keep the computer on long enough to update drivers.
Thank you so much in advance!
Quick edit: I was able to quickly open device manager and confirm that the computer recognized the rtx2070 was plugged in
