Pc keeps freezing when playing games

[matty_w2]

I have the amd A10 7860k processor, with the zotac gtx 780, and the gigabyte f2a88xm d3hp motherboard. Recently i have purchased a better psu because my old one was dreadful because it didnt support the power the gpu needed. Now i am having a problem where when i play games it completely freezes and the screen stays on the last frame, so i have to turn my pc off and turn it back on again. I have also downloaded MSI Afterburner and the average temperacture for my gpu was about 78 degrees Celsius and processor at a maximum of 79 degrees celsius.
What should i do? someone i know said i may be a software problem and if it is and nobody can help then just to reinstall windows. Please help.

If it is overheating is hardware issue, not software

Before reinstalling windows, try reinstalling your graphics drivers, and updating your BIOS.

80C is hot for the CPU (and GPU but not as critical for the graphics card), but it shouldn't be giving glitches or errors or heavy thermal throttling until your in the mid 90s.
