I have an FX-8150@ stock,with the stock cooler,asus sabertooth 990fx mobo,an xfx r9 270x DD,and the haf 932 case.

 

Well i was trying to do a test,i had minecraft running but paused,vlc running an episode of topgear,a web browser with 4 tabs,and a hardware monitor,with all that running i tried to run BF3 on ultra@ 1080p(got 50-70fps lol).

 

My save game was messed up so i had to start over,and i did not even get trough the train mission before my pc did a thermal shut down.

 

What is weird is i have never had a problem with it doing that before,could that mean something is wrong with my cpu?

I think you're stressing the computer too much. That chip has a high TDP and the stock cooler probably doesn't cut it - get a better cooler, like the Be Quiet Dark Rock Pro 3, Noctua NH-D14/15 (something like that) or, for a less effective but budget solution, Hyper 212 EVO from Cooler Master.

Clean out the dust in your system and especially in the cooler.

A 212 EVO would definitely help tons though.

The FX-8150 is one heck of a fireplace. I wouldn't ever run a stock cooler on it. As adequate as it may seem, it's not. A 212 Evo or even a cheaper tower cooler like the Zalman CNPS5X is a worthy investment.

I dusted my system about 3 weeks ago,and right now i don't even have the extra $20 to get the Zalman cooler let alone the a hyper 212+ evo...

 

I MAY be able to afford a cheap one in a week or 2,but i may not...

 

Any suggestions till then?

Don't run so many things on it

If you want to, you can try undervolting by a tiny bit? Also downclock it if you do that.
