APU Crashing randomly now

[toot12311]

I have an a10 7860k that was working fine for a few days but now everytime I go to play a game it crashes no BSOD or anything just PC crashes
I tested the PSU and its not that I put the PSU in my main PC and it worked fine even while playing games.

so I went to the bios and it said the a10 was running at idle at 50c+
and the motherboard was around 35c
so I was like I dont think thats normal so I checked my main pc and my i5 was running idle at 29c
so is the CPU cooler just not good enough or what? or is it broken I have reseated it several times with no luck. here is the one im using http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835186062&cm_re=arctic_fm2_-_-35-186-062-_-Product

While your APU cooler is merely average, it should be able to cool the A10-7860K. What are you CPU(APU) and GPU reported temperatures at idle and under load (looking for more info than just the motherboard temp)? Also, what are the specs for your system (make/model of all components), particularly the power supply and video card?

it worked fine for like a week then randomly it just started crashing.
my power supply is a Rosewill Stallion 400W but I tested it in my main pc to power an i5 6400 + r7 250x (i use a 970 but the power supply didnt have enough pci connectors) and it worked fine no crashes or anything so I concluded that its not the PSU.

Motherboard is - AsRock a68 m-itx
Ram is - crucial ballistix sport 1600mhz 2x4gb
im using the APU's iGPU
case is CM Elite 110

You need to remove the link in your sig block, please.

Still need the temps. Are you trying to overclock anything?

i really cant get the temps under load it crashes soon as i start up any game.
no overclock

Ok. What are the temps at idle?

Have you tested your memory (with a tool like memtest)?

idle temps are way through the roof and im pretty sure its the issue
at idle hardware monitor says im at 56c

Make sure your APU (CPU) heatsink is securely fastened. You may need to remove the heatsink, clean the APU, and install new thermal compound.

still waiting on the new cooler to arrive but, having some other issues today i tried to turn it on for the first time in a couple days and now I get no signal what so ever to the monitor.
it powers up i hear the fans no beep no shutdowns just no signal...

Try this. Power the system down. Disconnect the power cord going into the PSU. Press the power button to discharge any residual power in the system. Wait a couple minutes. Reconnect the power cable and try again.

Sounds odd, but this process can sometimes "reset" a flakey PSU.

new cooler arrived and it didn't do anything so im guessing the mobo/cpu is faulty in some way?
