PC overheating problem

[FoggyBill]

Hello, I have been encountering some issues with my PC overheating and shutting down while playing the new DOOM video game. This first occurred a few weeks ago, but it has happened multiple times since then. I first tried to fix the problem by cleaning out my system with compressed air, however this did not solve the issue, and it overheated a second time during a loading screen. Recently I tried re-applying the thermal paste on my CPU, but this also did not work and my PC crashed again only ~45 minutes into the game. I have been trying to monitor my temps while playing using Core Temp and have seen my CPU reach upwards of 80C before crashing. My system has a FX-8350 processor and I have a hyper 212 evo heat sink on it, so I was surprised to get this problem initially, but now I don't even know what to do next to fix it. Any and all help with this would be greatly appreciated.

What are the GPU temperatures? CPU at 80 should not crash.

I honestly am not sure, I did not have software installed to monitor that at the time of the crashes, but I just installed gpu-z and looks like while just using google chrome temp is around 40C.

install MSI Afterburner which will allow you to monitor temperatures while you are playing the game.

Are you monitoring your other fans as well?

Speccy gives you an easy way to monitor temps, much easier to read than CPU-Z. Give that a try while playing a game.

I will admit, I have not been monitoring any of my other fans. CPU temp was the only thing I was really keeping track of at the time.

I'll try using that next time I have the chance, however I will not have access to my PC for about another week so I'll have to report back with what I measure then.
