MSI Z97 Gaming 5 - "Temperature 2" is 127C at idle

[thaatguybraad]

So I've recently been having a lot of issues when playing games as with fortnite as an example, as soon as I jump out of the starting bus the computer completely crashes and restarts. The same with CSGO bus instead the crash happens about half way through a game.
I've been looking for what the issue may be and I discovered using 'CAM' that under my motherboard a 'Temperature 2' is at 127C. I figure this is quite possibly the issue however I do not know what the temperature 2 would refer to in order for me to try and fix it.
As well as this, on the topic of the issue, I firstly believed it was my GPU as the min core clock is 135 most of the time and it fluctuates quite a lot, is this normal?
Many thanks!!

MERGED QUESTION
Question from thaatguybraad : "PC Crashes whilst gaming"

Hi everyone,
I have had my PC for about a year (the last component I put into it was placed in about a year ago. And it is a custom build. I haven't really used it much over the past year and I hadn't touched it for about 3 months and came back to a whole bunch of issues, some I have been able to fix and others I have learnt to deal with but now I am wanting to go back into PC gaming but cannot because of my issues.
I will link my specs first.

It doesn't say it there but I have the CX750M from corsair as my PSU.

Here is a rundown of what I believe is wrong with it as I reckon it all correlates to the same issue.
- Computer shuts down and crashes in the middle of a game. (eg. Fortnite as soon as I jump out of the "battle bus" it crashes, CSGO it crashes after about 10 rounds and ARMA 3 crashed after about 15 mins of play time)
- Boot is slow. It used to be pretty quick as in a matter of seconds (and I know that it slows overtime) but it now sits on the BIOS menu startup screen for about 1/2 mins before prompting me to login to windows.
- Downloading files takes a while, it's usually at the beginning of the download, i.e. stuck on 0%.
- Transferring files takes longer than before.
- Computer takes a while to shut down after pressing the button. Can sometimes be about 3 minutes delay.

What I've done

• 
  So externally, I've changed the SSD and hard drive as at first I thought it was an issue with either of these, nothing much has changed, it is a little bit faster but that is it. (My old SSD was auto defragging which I didn't realise).
  
  I have ran a memtest over night for about 11:30 hours. No errors appeared.
  Ran a stress test using Prime95. https://i.gyazo.com/0f51a9cf0304b0f3f1f7fd6f98e2e46d.png Looks fine to me but I don't know too much about it.
  
  Checked temperatures. All temperatures seem to be okay apart from one. "Temperature 2" on my motherboard according to CAM is 127C constantly. I don't know what this temperature is. https://i.gyazo.com/69d0ea1e4af5fa2c969698ad97c5c9ea.png
  
  I've also ran a speccy which I don't understand enough to know what I'm looking for. http://speccy.piriform.com/results/WY1YEoUOZX1pPSt66JUUVT1
  
  I have also wiped my drives and started over (except important files) and scanned for viruses and found nothing.
  
  I did a power test online using my specs to check for power issues and it said it was fine.
  
  I used whoCrashed and no crash dump files were found.
  
  The Windows crash software also said nothing apart from the fact that Windows randomly stopped working.

Any suggestions would be so greatly appreciated!!!!
Many Thanks!!

Sounds like a defective bios, try updating bios to latest version and that should do the trick
