Hello Gary,
Also make sure there is no packed dirt on the heatsink -- I don't know about
AMDs, but older Intel heatsinks often tend to accumulate a paper-like layer
of dirt on the 'top' of heatsink grid, blocking the airflow. I once had
several thermal shutdowns on my home PC before I found that. This does not
seem to happen with newer heatsinks so they must have changed the design
somehow =)
Best wishes
Eugene

You can also try shutting down (obviously), then removing the heat sink, put
some thermal paste on the processor and reinstall the heat sink. Sometimes
there isn't much (any) thermal paste there and the processor can't get the
heat into the heat sink.

Ok, so now I see that my cpu temperature shoots up pretty dang fast when a
build is going on.
