Those temp's really shouldn't be the cause of issues in games. Are you totally sure that in your BIOS you don't have any basic turbo profiles set for the CPU? It just seems strange that a new system with a fresh windows install which I'm assuming you have is locking up in games.

I would run furmark on the stress test mode, not benchmark. Try to keep it going for a bit and see if you notice anything off.

I would point towards this being something buggy with your windows install. I have had similar experience with my personal rig doing the same

Maybe try some stress tests on the GPU/CPU and see if they stay stable or experience some issues. Use something like furmark for the GPU to see if you get a constant framerate or experience some stuttering. If that is the case it could be a GPU issue. Something I tried in the past.

It does not sadly

I forgot to mention that I did replace it with a better power supply unit

Hello, I have been having this issue for a while and wanted to recruit the help of some LTT forum members So for a build challenge I am doing, I picked up this prebuilt system with a i5 2400, 8 GB ram and a 500 GB hard drive for like $130. I wanted to slap a decent video card in there and see how it ran, well I have encountered these issues. 1. I have a XFX r7 260 2gb video card that I put in the machine and I still get no display output, it still seems to be going to the onboard graphics. 2. I tried putting in an old 9600 GT video card and that one displayed properly. 3. For last effort I tested the r7 260 in my personal rig - 5820k,etc. and it worked properly. Not sure what the problem could be. If anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate it! thanks a ton
