so, my pc have been freezing lately after some incident with the start up repair function of windows made the windows version not original, or so i read somewhere on the internet, so now every time i log into a video game (tera or league of legends) after some 5 minutes of play the computer freezes and i have to hard restart it, i already reinstalled the nvidia controllers and all thinking that it could be the problem but its still the same, what i found off was that if i tried to restart the computer right after a crash it would just beep 5 times and not turn on, so i have to force shut down again with the power button, leave it for some 5 minutes and then turn it on and it would work like a charm, until i log into those games again, i changed everything and its still the same so i thought it could be the temperatures that got affected by the change or something, so i got the hwmonitor and ran league of legends, heres a pic of the different temperatures

the MAX TEMP on the right side were at the 4 minute mark into the game and the VALUE were 2 minutes after i closed the game, so are they normal, or is something overheating?

i have a M68MT-D3 mobo and 2 2gb ddr3 ram sticks.
what else do i need to show you guys?

You could also download something called ''msi afterburner'' , it has tellemetry that shows the GPU's temperature , that shouldnt be well over 85 while gaming , if it is , that might be the problem.
The problem youre discribing can be caused by a multitiude of things though.
For instance , you say that it only realy happens in games , so your gpu could be bad , or your PSU may be unable to handle the load while gaming.

Then temperatures you posted look fine , if they are while gaming.
If those are idle temperatures then an overheating CPU might be the problem.

good morning and thx for the fast reply.

well i downloaded the msi afterburner and it gives me good readings on the gpu temps, they are good, also i have a 800w psu, so it should be enough power, and about te bad gpu, well it could be, how do i check that my gpu is fine?

what i am woried are the temps that are reading from the mobo, what is usually plugged on those temp readers? tmpin1 and tmpin2? those are the ones at 85C and it worries me, it also worries me that the core temp goes up to 85c an i am quite sure that shoudnt be the case, do any of those temps might lead to a freeze on the pc when they hit a temp too high?

i have also realized that everything started right after my windows change from original to unlicensed due to the startup repair, does this could have affected the controllers of the core fan in any way? thx for the help
