Cooling Pc switching off after 2 mins

Hi guys
my son-in-laws computer keeps turning itself off after aprox 2 min....i5 2500...H60...4gb tracer ram.. running windows 10, just wondering if its the H60 at fault, how would I know if the pump has packed in...it was working fine one day...the next day it kept switching itself off
thanks guys

 

Just go into the BIOS and look at the CPU temps. That will tell you if the cpu cooler is at fault.

 

Definitely sounds like a heat issue to me - look in the BIOS or alternatively if it'll boot into windows try one of the usual cpu temp apps

 

Doesn't the H60 pump run off a fan header? Any decent monitoring software should be able to tell you the CPU temp and the pump speed.

 

Recently had H60 fail on me , same symptoms , pump was still giving a rpm signal out though
Feel the pipes coming out of cpu block , you will soon feel the heat if it has failed

 

Cheers guys, appretiate the help

 

UPDATE guys
I started the pc, went into the bios, watched the cpu temp climb all the way to 88c....seems the H60 is a tad dodgy
thank you guys ...

 

Glad to hear it's something simple to sort out

 

Yes pookie, cheers matey

 

Try reseating it first and see if that helps - if not then new cooler time

 

thanks George will do matey

 

If you're passing Preston drop in and I'll fit your replacement cooler (if you buy one) with some thermal grizzly kryonaut for free bud .

 

Thanks matey
Appretiate that matey, not even sure if he has ordered a cooler yet, his pc is sat here lol, im sure I can feel a slight vibration when I put a finger on the cpu pump....can't be sure though
thanks again my friend
take care

 

If you run the cooler without anything else you should be able to put your ear to it. The pump may have jammed. Now you can take them apart but it's messy, fiddly and you will need a res after you put it back together.
