I just built a pc for my friend to get into gaming with some spare parts lying around a bought what I could afford, but its having a constant freeze after turning on. Sometimes its at the bios screen and sometimes its a few minuets after logging in, the most constant its crashed is while trying to play a game. I've tested the ram with memtest86 (all passed), changed the hard drives to known good ones and the power supply unit is brand new. My first thought was that its over heating, and I checked temps and its sitting at 95F (idle/lowest) to 131F (max/while stressed during gameplay) not sure if those are normal temps. But my only guesses are either the CPU or motherboard is bad, cause they are the only ones used that I can't really test.
Motherboard : Asus Z87-k
CPU : Intel i5 - 4460
GPU : NVIDIA Geforce GTX 960
RAM : 4x 4GB sticks (not sure what brand where laying around with motherboard)
PSU : EVGA 600w
