Temperatures are not measured in percentages... What are they in degrees?

Is the whole thing just shutting down or does it give you an error? What game(s)? Has it always done this or did this just start happening?

I've been playing black ops 2 it gives no error it just crashes just go to desktop.
How to check degress?

You can download HWMonitor.

http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html

Have that running while you play the game and see what your max temperatures get to.

Again, did this just start happening or has it always done this when playing this game? Tried any other games?

It just started happening.

Have you ever blown out your system with compressed air?

I'd also be a bit wary of that bottom-bin PSU.

Ok and no I had not done that with compressed air my PC might be a bit dusty.

Given that it's a prebuilt and you answered this, I bet it's a little dusty.

Thanks for the help!

Use RealTemp to measure CPU temperature: https://www.techpowerup.com/realtemp/

Use GPU-Z to measure GPU temperatures (it's on the Sensors tab): https://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/ or you could use GPUTemp: http://www.gputemp.com/

Measure CPU and GPU temperatures whilst playing a game or when either/or is at load.

Sounds like heat could be the issue.

HWmonitor not good enough for you?

Didn't see that bit in your post. I just skimmed the thread. I've just always used RealTemp and GPU-Z I guess. If HWMonitor does both than that's better.
