Okay, I've been attempting to determine what is causing intensive games to crash after about 15-20 minutes of play. I jumped straight to the GPU at first, assuming it was the problem, but that has been ultimately ruled out.
I've gotten around to testing the CPU (An i5 3570k) with OCCT.
Within only 45 seconds of the test beginning, the temperature on one of the cores reaches 85c+, with the rest of the cores being close behind. The test stops itself due to the temperature.
I realize the test is intensive, but is this an abnormal temperature to be getting to, and would it reaching a dangerous temperature cause the system to 'Corrupt' the screen and stall, as it is doing now, as opposed to just cleanly shutting off?
Any advice on this would be appreciated, would it be a good idea to get myself a third party cooler if the temps are getting this bad, so quickly?
