Hello
I have a hp pavilion gaming 15 dk0xxx. I just changed my ram from 8GB to 16GB. I also replaced my thermal paste and cleaned the air system.
I don't know what were the temperatures before the change but, while gaming DOOM eternal or COD warzone, I had low frames.
Now I have better frames between 70 and 90 but, my temperatures hit 100 C. I am not sure if this is a risk and, since I am an amateur changing thermal paste and cleaning, I am worried about it.
While it was turning on after the change, it restarted one time and threw a message about my BIOS. Then it was normal.
I checked and my BIOS version and is Insyde F.40 11/4/2020, 3.0.

I reviewed your post and I understand that the computer is overheating.
Don’t worry, I assure you I will try my best to get this sorted.
I would like to inform you that 90C is normal on the gaming computer. I recommend you use the Omen command center to change the settings which suit your needs.
