GPU's can run at 80 Celsius no problem. So no it is not overheating. Once it reaches 85 I would stop whatever you are doing as that is my personal limit. However 95 Celsius is what they are rated for. I would not let a fx series CPU get 60 Celsius. That is too hot. 

GPU: XFX RX 7900 XTX

CPU: Ryzen 7 7800X3D

What I know about AMD, 60C is indeed on hotter side. Are you using stock heatsink, which case, how many fans. Clean dust and change thermal paste.

Prodigy? Add more intake fans. If you are just using 2 stock fans, your GPU is taking most of fresh air.

Geek Squad know two solutions: blitz the operating system and reseat things. I know, I have a friend who works there. It's not surprising, though; the customers he deals with regularly come in with problems that are usually just a case of something not being plugged in or accidentally deleting a .dll that can only be saved by blitzing anyway.

 

I don't know if I missed it, but what software are you using to check temperature? MSI Afterburner?

 OK, I bought two more fans and some canned air. I'm going to dust everything off install the new fans and hope that that fixes it, but if it does not does anyone happen to have any other ideas about why my computer randomly restarts itself and loses all power, instantly shuts off when playing a game after a little while. I need all the help I can get.

Instant shutdown/reboot sounds more like bad PSU. Or RAM. Temps aren't that high and you should see throttle first.
