PC may or may not want to combust on me

Ishnifan

So, lets get straight to the point:

 

Yesterday i was playing some GTA 4: TBoGT, and all of a sudden my pc started smelling like smoke, in a wave of panic i exited gta 4 and put it in sleep mode so it cools down.

10-15 minutes later, i turn it back on, nothing wrong and everythings alright up until it crashes and reboots. i wasnt even doing anything demanding, just some simple social media browsing.

 

I went into the bios today and changed a few things and now its fine, only problem is my CPU is pretty much snorting power up its nose.

 

Specs:

Mobo - Asus P7H55

CPU - Intel Core i5 661 3,33Ghz

Cooler - Stock Intel Fan

RAM - 2x4GB HyperX [something] 1333Mhz DDR3

GPU - 1GB Gainward GTX 550 Ti

Storage - 500GB Seagate Barracuda (?) [C: D:], 1TB Western Digital [H:]

PSU - Shitty one that probably came with the case

Case (is this one even important) - Logic 38° Case

OS - Windows 10 Home 64 Bit (likely an OEM)

 

Anything that prevents my pc from either exploding or my house burning down helps.

Thanks.

 

(if something is unclear just ask in the comments, ill try to answer anything i can)
