My computer shuts off when i use pcsx2

[jesalvein]

install it, run it, and see how your CPU temperature evolves when not doing anything, then compare this value with the one you get when using pcsx2

i did and it raises higher so yes it overheats, what does that mean ? how do i stop it ?

[jesalvein]

Open your pc and clean the dust, get a better cooling system, etc...
Do anything to prevent it from overheating.
That's not pcsx2 related, though...

Take it to a technician, ask him to clean up the fans, vents and heat sinks, and re-apply thermal paste to both CPU and GPU. Should take him 15-20 minutes at most. Pay him what he asks.

okay and does it have anything to do with my processor ?

if your room is in air-conditioned+managed to clean up the dust and it's still overheating there nothing you can do,bring it to the technician for check-up
overheating can perma-kill your PC and does not cover w/ warranty.

dookieboii24 sounds like the system heatsink isn't installed right, the CPU should only shutdown as a last resort if throttling doesn't work, meaning you can very likely severly damage your computer if you keep running it like that.

either get the pc serviced or send it in for repair or if you feel comfortable try to reinstall the heatsink / thermal paste yourself.

btw next time tell us the temps you saw so we can determine if it's in the operating specs for that model cpu.
