PC Restarted, Overheating?

[BenKavanagh]

Ive been gaming for a little while on my fairly new pc and time to time ill check Speccy and noticed my cpu very hot, like 82 degrees Celsius. Its kinda dumb of me but ive ignored it for probably around 2 months thinking it could maybe be something wrong with the temperature monitor. 

 

Just now my pc restart while i was in a game which is a symptom of cpu over heating right? This has been the only time ive ever notice anything odd with my pc.

 

so my questions are; Do you think my CPU is overheating? If so, what should i do? And Could it also be my psu? It is pretty weak psu and is the very minimum for my pc.

 

Thanks, and let me know if listing my pc parts will help

Check the amount of thermal paste, also do you use the stock cooler or an after market one?

Well, I would grab another cooler, even a Hyper 212 will show massive improvements and is pretty cheap

Im looking at the paste but im not sure what it's supposed to look like. How should it be?

or a Deepcool Gammax 400, its cheaper but pretty much the same.

Getting an aftermarket heatsink should solve it all. Any air cooler should do fine, Be Quiet! and Noctua have arguably some of the best air coolers.
