it is dusty? remove it and clean it as good as you can

 

bad air flow? remove your side panel and play some games..buy more case fans

 

turn the fan speeds up

 

 

if you just bought it, installed it and know you have enough air flow to keep cool... rma or attempt to apply new thermal paste to the core

nope, you're not overheating there

 

have you overclocked your cpu?

And make sure your diver is up to date!  I accidentally installed 13.9 instead of 13.12 and had horrible stability issues (had an installer lying around after a reformat).

First Build:| Gigabyte 990FXa-UD3 | FX 8120 4.0Ghz | Coolermaster Seidon 240M | Asus Radeon HD 7870 | Kingston HyperX 3k 120GB SSD + WD Green 2TB HDD | Corsair RM750 | 8Gb Kingston HyperX 1866Mhz CL9| Fractal Define R4 White/Windowed |

The crashing sound more like driver issue than gpu overheating. You'd get complete pc reboot on serious overheating. Reinstall drivers just in case.

what game does it crash on might just be the game try and run a GPU benchmark like unigine valley or furmark and see if it crashes then 

l Intel Core i7 4790K @ 4.5Ghz l Asus VII Ranger ROG l MSI GTX 970 @ 1555MHz l
