First off i am sorry if i posted this in the wrong place i have no idea were to post .

i have had my computer for about 2.5 years and have been upgrading it little by little. And for some reason it overheats i have side panel taking off and a fan blowing into it but it does not help i use open hardware to monitor my temps. And every time that i look my CPU is run at 75 degree Fahrenheit and then will jump to 150 and the Cpu fan will increase but doesn't have any effect and then the computer will shut its self down so i leave it alone for a few hours turn it on and then i starts happen again

my Spec's

AMD Phenom X3 @ 2.1ghz
8gb of ram
GTX 750 Ti
Evga 850watt Psu

if you could help me that would be great and the cool i have is a Cooler master 212 EVO

Did you reapply thermal paste when you put the CM 212 EVO on?

yes i reapply thermal paste because when took the stock cooler off the thermal paste was hardened it was not paste anymore so i reapplied it and put the 212 evo on . but today i took the cooler off and the paste hardened again so i put more on after clean the old off

How are your fans oriented? Not just on the cooler but in the case as well?

So you're intaking air from the sides and exhausting out the front and back? Or a positive pressure setup with 3 intakes and only one exhaust?

If this is the case you might need to change up the fans. Both of these are going to have poor cooling and pockets of recirculating stale air. The best setup I find is a neutral to just slightly negative flow, as this tends to fully scavenge the hot air out.
