Hi, I purchased a computer some time ago and since then it has been crashing during games, completely shutting off. I suspect the CPU is the issue because my temperatures were extremely high and the fan isn’t performing well. My CPU is overclocked to 4.3GHz, so I’m curious how to bring it back to normal operation to avoid crashes in games. By the way, here are my PC specifications from the purchase page: http://www.jdwilliams.co.uk/shop/orion-p...lour:,size:

enter the computer's BIOS settings, go through the BIOS menu, and reset it back to default settings.

Hey, just a quick note—my background service is currently stuck on stopping, but I’m not sure if that’s going to impact it or not. I’m a bit worried though.

Sure, I'll do my best to be charismatic. I hope I don't mess up and damage my PC. On the side, could something go wrong during a reset like this, and if yes, what would you suggest fixing it?

thanks, i’ll do my best to keep up with the charisma. I hope i don’t mess up and break my PC. On a side note, could anything go wrong during a reset like this? if so, how could i fix it? the only thing that might happen is some features getting disabled, but they should be easy to re-enable.
