CPU IS ON FIRE

[Psycho]

I just started up my pc and then this happened...

can somebody explain, I might take my pc back to the store considering i cant get 125 fps on cod4 on 1280x720....

I'll tell you right now, you spend $35 - $50 on a new CPU fan and you'll be fine. Just about any cooling in a pre-built is garbage, if you want to be cheap you could just take off a side panel and leave it off.

That CPU isn't going to need anything excess of the stock fan.

How many fans are in your computer?

Stock plus the three built into my case.

Alright, its either you have a program that stacks the memory of your CPU or your fan is fucked up, if the CPU is new, jut see what happens next, its probably a burst in the hardware.

Alright, try underclocking your CPU, maybe you overclock it too much if you were experimenting on it?

Sorry for the misunderstanding, I was asking about the OP's config.

 

[Mez]

The OP's config is a laptop, the A8-4500m is a notebook APU processor.

Do keep in mind that an APU has a video (graphics) card/processor built into the cpu, so the overall reading for your cpu temp would be the same for your GPU temp. Speccy may be combining the two, which is why it's showing such an absurdly high temperature.

Your processor is also deigned to automatically shut down once it reaches a temperature of 100 degrees Celsius, so speccy is MOST LIKELY showing false temperatures.

Download core temp and tell us what temps it is showing:

If it shows lower temps, you're fine, speccy is a terrible program to use for monitoring hardware temperatures.

Don't open your laptop up or do anything that could cause the warranty to be voided.
Take it straight back to the place you got it from.

This.

Unless your laptop feels hot like Speccy is saying it is, then you have nothing to worry about. I personally have never had an issue with Speccy, but then again I don't use AMD APU's.
