By the way, do you have an AMD cpu? The sensors output does not seem to include the CPU, and I read it is hard to get them from AMD cpus. So, your numbers might be a lot higher than what you see there. On Mon, Oct 30, 2017 at 7:01 PM, Michael wrote: > I'm going to run the gl

Well, you're on the right track. Try to isolate whether glmark alone can crash it, or if you need stress as well. Then try opening up your case and point a fan in there. Also don't forget to check the BIOS for thermal management events that might be causing the shutdown/reboot. On Mon, Oct 30,

Check your bios settings for hardware monitoring and temperature limits. You may have it set with a maximum temperature so the machine panics when it's just warm. Try raising this number or disabling the feature entirely But first check your sensors by installing a temperature monitoring program
