Overheating problem i7-4790K without running anything

[AAnto15]

Hi. I found that my computer fans were running fast without doing anything, so I ran the Intel Processor diagnostic tool and it failed in the CPU load test, saying IPDT64 failed. My processor is i7-4790K. I checked the BIOS and the CPU heat is at 91 degrees without doing anything. It's too much. The diagnostic tool also says "check your processor thermal solution" but I don't know what that means.

Solved. It was because a missconnect of the CPU fan. Other threads helped me as well. Now at 30 degrees.
