Okay so for the last day i was reading through everyone else who has posted the same things and following the guides that people have posted to help them, however none of them seemed to fix my problem.

My temperature is fine just on the internet, but the second I load any game. Warcraft, LoL, etc. the temperature goes from 30s Celsius to almost 80. As soon as i notice this I shut my computer down for an hour or so to make sure it cools down.

From what I read, my computer is completely clean, no dust etc. I have reapplied thermal paste and such things like that. But it still did not do the trick. So concerned that my fans were not working correctly I took my pc down today to get them looked a,t but all seems fine.

I have only had this PC since October of 2013, and haven't had an issue till about 3 days ago.


My CPU is AMD FX-6300
Motherboard: MSI 760GM-P34(FX) (MS-7641)

Sorry to bother you all, I have never had anything like this happen to me, and I am out of ideas/solutions to this.
 
Keep in mind that if too much thermal paste has been applied then it will overheat. Do you have a CPU cooler? If not, you might want to invest in one. If yes, you might want to clean that up as well. Have you overclocked recently? Try setting things back to default. Does your case have good airflow?
