Hi all! PC Noob here, so please keep that in mind with any advice given 
So I got this PC prebuilt for me from Wootware late January/early February. Everything was fine until winter rolled through. On cold days, there seems to be a delay in response time for the actual pump of the AIO to start doing its job, as the fans themselves do turn on immediately. The CPU then starts to overheat to dangerous levels.
It's worth mentioning that:
- The issue is not consistent and I can't reproduce it at will. If it does happen, it is only on the first boot up of the day. It doesn't seem to happen on warm days.
- When the issue does occur, it often resolves itself after a few minutes of the AIO fans going wild or after I reboot the system. Unfortunately today was the first time it didn't resolve itself and just shat the bed and shut itself down.
- I have monitored my system processes and there doesn't appear to be any particular system process causing this spike in CPU temp during these events that differs from any normal startup.
- Once the issue is resolved, the AIO works perfectly fine.
- The PC case is well ventilated and my general CPU temps are pretty standard (41-44 on a hot day; 37-39 on a cold day).
- The PC was stress tested in store before shipping.
My first thought was that it could be a failing pump, but if that were the case, surely the issue would be more consistent and the AIO wouldn't continue to work perfectly fine for the rest of the time? Could it be an problem with the general thermostat settings in BIOS perhaps? I'm thinking that when the parts are cold, it's not registering that the CPU is getting too hot?
I've been struggling to find any useful information online, so I turn to you. Theoretically, what could be the issue here? Is it more likely hardware or software related? I'm worried the problem gets worse before I manage to solve it.
