Greetings - Yes, the natural result is that of the computer switching itself off when the heating cpu is never or under cooled by failing cooler. Try and restore default bios settings, retart the computer and observe. If this never helps, it may mean that the cooler has sadly gone bad and needs to be replaced.


Hope that is helpful.

CPU Level Up function is an automatic OC function. Based on your CPU, the BIOS will display OC options in terms of higher CPU model. Once selected, BIOS will automatically adjust the all the OC parameters for you. This way, you have a very easy way to get performance out of your CPU. This function can be found under BIOS settings-->Extreme Tweaker-->CPU Level Up.

It means that the CPU you have installed doesn't support level up. You will have to purchase a higher end CPU. What you will have to do is load the default settings or also try resetting the CMOS with the jumpers. You can also turn off this feature. Regarding your unit shutting off, you may need to upgrade your PSU if your unit shuts off when you are trying to overclock.
