Well at least it's spinning... Can you hear the noise from it while gaming?

Also sorry its so late, my internet has been playing up so i couldnt download HWMonitor but hey better late than never :)
 
Well it seems like your CPU temps are skyrocketing (93C is way too high for a CPU). Are you using the stock cooler?

Here are the steps you need to take:
1. Open up your PC while it's running and see if the fan on the CPU cooler is spinning. If not, that's your problem right there.
2. Turn off your PC and blow some dust out of it with a can of compressed air.
3. If there's no change, take off your CPU cooler, wipe off all of the old thermal paste (q-tips soaked in 99% isopropyl alcohol are really good for this), reapply some new thermal paste and put the cooler back in its original place.
