Google knows those overheat at such low temperatures I don't even. But knowing Shroob, he probably has an external graphics card, so it would have nothing to do with his processor. Then again, I don't know which it might be!
If it is integrated, CPUs usually overheat at around 50c, which is still easily holdable.
Yes, it's an external graphics card, an NVidia GeForce something. However, I'm not sure if it's actually the card that's frazzled or the motherboard itself (by Polokus, let it not be). When I start up the computer, instead of showing a black screen with a blinking underscore in the top-left corner, it shows a screen full of 'sigma root-of-e z' symbols. Very weird.
I looked up the temperature in the BIOS settings and, from being off the whole day before, the CPU heat went up to around 45 instantly (just by turning it on). Not sure what that means. Then, just by remaining in those BIOS settings, the CPU gradually heated up to 56 degrees Celsius. This is when I decided to just turn it off again; not doing anything special and already gaining 11 degrees looked a bit dodgy to me. I'll see what my father and I can find out and I'll tell you guys all about it (if you'd like to hear). I also have no idea what temperature it was when it happened; something went
so wrong, that not even a BSoD appeared - it just died.
