Faulty fans, replace the fans with new ones.

Give it a good clean, dust=no good. Also, make sure all the fans are working...

check to see if the cpu fan is working, i would suspect that to be the first one to go, try it with the side panel off, to see if any fans aren't working

Reseat the CPU heatsink, there could be a contact problem. Make sure you use arctic silver 5 or another high quality thermal paste.

the thermal paste suggestion is very good from the friend above

so i will not repeat it, but i wanna tell you that after you replace the thermal paste with an newer - high quality one, if the problem fixed, then you're sure that the problem was CPU' overheating. To solve this once and for all my suggestion is 2 good fans, one for input and one for output air, and a good WATERCOLLING SYSTEM!!

Power supplies supply power to a system. They have nothing to do with keeping a system cool.
