A friend's 15 year old son has a PC with the spec below.
All was well until he started playing games such as Star Wars, Avowed, Delta Force, Minecraft.
After anywhere between 90 minutes and 2 hours it will suddenly crash and reboot.
I have run Prime95 and the CPU gets into the 90's rather quickly though I haven't been brave enough to continue with the test!
I've run MemTest for 4 hours without any issues.
Being an old git, I'm unfamiliar with these games (MSFS is my weakness!) and how they are set up but the lad says he selects "let windows decide" when setting parameters.
Would I be right in thinking the stock CPU cooler is insufficient for these types of games?
And if so, could someone recommend a suitable replacement please, that would do the job.
