Hey, so back on 5/21 my PC did 3 full crash and reboots in a single day while I was playing the game Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord. I googled the problem and saw that the issue could be heat related. I decided to download Coretemp 1.18. It was then that I realized that the temp of my CPU was averaging 175 to 190 Fahrenheit or 80 to 87 Celsius. I immediately stopped playing the game and haven't played since. I continued to monitor the heat of my CPU while doing simple tasks like using MS Word or watching YouTube and noticed that when I did, the CPU temp spiked as if I was playing a game. Fast forward to early today, I took my PC apart and deep cleaned the cooling system. Including removing as much dust as possible and even oiling the fans. However, it seems to have made no difference. Now I'm reaching out here in hopes of any solutions. I'll include my PC specs below with some notes. Thanks.
