Just looking for some help/advice from some people about my pc overheating. On Wednesday night the breaker for my room went out and shut down everything just in my room and I thought it was just because I had too many things plugged in so I got it back on yesterday and everything was working fine and I only had my tv and pc plugged in. Well just now after about 15-20 minutes of csgo it happened again twice and so now I think its my pc. Is there anything else it could be and if it is the pc overheating do I need to buy more fans or what should I do since this has never happened to me!
Thanks for the help in advance, I think I know how to check the cpu temperatures so once I get the power back on in my room I'll see if I can check.

The temps are slowly rising as I leave it on

Go get coretemp and get back at us when you have your temperatures.

These are normal temps for an idle CPU without any serious cooling. Your max temps are normal as well. Try to reproduce the problem, then check CoreTemp for your max CPU temperature. If they are high, say above 70 C, then you may have an issue, but so far there's nothing out of the ordinary

It's probably not your pc, check what the breaker is rated and how much you're pulling, it might be that more than one room is on the same one (not likely though). For comparison I have my PC, CRT, AC, guitar amplifier, LCD, and lights all on a 20a breaker with no problems. Assuming you have a 650W PSU, your computer is probably only pulling ~5.5a at full load.

It happened again when I had nothing else plugged in could it be a short circuit or something similiar? When it happened my coretemps were fine and the watts so it would have to be something with the outlet maybe?
