It seems you're experiencing overheating with minimal airflow, suggesting a cooling issue. There are no unusual frequency changes, so it's likely another factor affecting performance. Disable all power-saving features in your BIOS, such as C1 state, to see if that resolves the problem.
This action triggers my computer to shut down under any pressure, I've attempted it three times
Alright, here’s a clearer version:
Proceed with restoring the BIOS to its standard configuration. Then, modify your CPU cooler—clean the cover and reapply the paste. If it seems ineffective, consider reapplying the cooling paste and reseating the cooler; however, if the unit is faulty, the port may be damaged due to low RPM.
Your display indicates the CPU remains at its slowest setting despite temperatures ranging from 60°C to 80°C. Thermal throttling won’t activate until the core hits 100°C, ruling it out as the issue. Navigate to BIOS and verify SpeedStep and Intel Turbo Boost are active. Restart and launch CPU-Z. If the CPU remains unresponsive, execute ThrottleStop 8.70.6. Ensure SpeedStep is enabled, adjust the multiplier to its highest setting, then activate the button to remove it from monitoring. Launch the built-in TS Bench test, configure it for a single thread, initiate the test, and capture a screenshot during operation. A one-thread run will verify your maximum multiplier safely. To access the 22 multiplier when one core is on, enable C3 or C6 states in BIOS; disabling these also turns off this feature. ThrottleStop can log the CPU’s active state in idle mode. If challenges persist, share screenshots for further guidance.
CPU activation doesn't begin throttling until it reaches around 100°C. Review the charts. The processor speed remains steady at its lowest point before it can heat up. @papajo If you revisit the original comment, the issue emerged after switching from Windows 7 to Windows 10. This suggests a BIOS setting—such as SpeedStep—was misconfigured. This could have hindered Windows 10 from initializing the CPU properly. It isn't related to temperature readings. If the CPU stops working while running, it likely stems from insufficient voltage. That should be verified in the BIOS. A snapshot of CPU-Z during loading will show the actual voltage being applied. The 22x scaling factor these chips support can lead to instability if the BIOS isn't properly configured.
It has everything to do with temperatures... this cpu should not even come close to 50c @ 1,6 Ghz and the fan speed should be more than 900 RPM... <--- this here is a major issue the other issues whatsoever may or may not exist and are secondary... Its like you have a man who says he doesnt feel well and he started sneezing but also bleeds tons of blood through a cut he has and you are like "he says he was sneezing and now with the corona virus outbreak he probably should test if he is positive" nope he should take care first of the bleeding corona virus positive or negative is secondary....
Hey there, just wanted to share what I found. After testing your advice, I noticed each core hitting 100°C even under any stress. I think it’s related to heat management. I usually run at around 55-60°C, and only YouTube is keeping this processor stable for a long time.
Also, I managed to boost performance a bit with throttle stop while I was working on getting new fans. Thanks for your feedback! This seems to be what’s working right now—still not at full speed but holding up during idle.

You need to address the thermal concern immediately, otherwise your chip could be damaged. The first step would be to apply paste and reattach the cooler; it’s even better to borrow another cooler and test it to see if the issue persists. This might indicate a problem with the motherboard—such as faulty fans or CPU power states. Have you attempted to reset the BIOS to factory settings? That way we can determine if the heat issue stems from voltage settings or another factor.
