Hi,
I recently upgraded my PC to this configuration:
Processor: AMD FX-8320
Motherboard: ASUS M5A97 R2.0
Video Card: ATI RADEON HD 5770
RAM: Kingston HyperX 2 x 4 GB DDR3 1600 MHz
Hard Disk: Western Digital 1TB Blue SATA3
PSU: Thermaltake 530W SMART SERIES

My CPU temperature is extremely high.
When I'm not doing anything it's around 40 celsius, but I recently played Battlefield 3 and COD Ghosts and it shut down. The temperature was about 95 celsius.
What is happening to my CPU? :(

UPDATE:I INSTALLED THE COOLER BY MYSELF AND IT'S THE DEFAULT HEATSINK AND I DIDN'T OVERCLOCK IT.
 
Solution
Yeah, 70C is about as high as you want it to go no matter what. Try to reseat your heatsink. You should probably get some arctic silver (or similar high-quality) paste and try it again. Make sure that the CPU fan is working.
