My PC keeps turning off...please help

[MissRoxy]

to clarify, i canceled the PSU when i found out that wasnt the problem. Dont have the money to buy parts that arent needed. I got prime 95 and some more info. the system shuts down at 87 degrees. it is definitely a cooling problem. I did the thermal paste and reseat the heat sink. that didnt help. Im assuming that means i need another heat sink? how much do those cost? also i have a closed system water cooler, so i have no idea how to "upkeep" it. and no nothing has leaked. Any suggestions where to go from here? I have 0 funds to spend on anything right this second, so i am going to have to play on ps3 and share with gf for a while. which sucks, but i'll live. We like to play together. Ok lets start the links to heat sinks you trust ect coming. also, is there a way to make sure its the heat sink? or have we already figured that out with the tests?

Ah. It looks like you have Corsair H60 AIO cooler. I also have one of their AIO cooler ( Corsair H100i http://i.imgur.com/oRiJejM.jpg ) and the coolant doesn't need to be refilled until many years later. ( done by corsair and not yourself )

Our Hydro Series CPU coolers are designed to be a closed-loop solution with no maintenance required at all. The units come pre-filled and feature proprietary hoses that virtually eliminate evaporation of water. The expected lifespan of the average unit is significantly longer than the warranty period.

It seems that the pump on your cooler isn't working properly - which is why you get ridiculous temp. You need to RMA your current cooler or buy a new heatsink. ( I would choose the latter because RMA process can take a long time )

Since you mentioned that money is an issue, I'd recommend getting this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835103099
It's cheap and performs very well for it's price point.
