I bought a pc a few days ago and the cpu, even when just watching netflix throtles up to around 80c and then shuts down, i think it is to do with the voltage but i am not sure :/

Please help.

My motherboard is the Asus M5A78L-M LX V2
 


I would first do that to be sure the TIM is fresh and properly applied. And be sure that the cooler's fan is free of dust and dirt that can impeded free movement of the fan blades. Do you need guidance in changing the TIM?
