So I got my PC delivered yesterday and started playing at around 6 until 12 it worked fine and I got to play Pay Day 2, Skyrim, and Mine Craft all on Ultra with no problems. I wanted to download some of the games I had on Steam and I decided I would download Just Cause 2 overnight. In the morning I found out the download stopped because the monitor went to sleep (I'm an idiot).

I decided I'd like to play Skyrim, I get on and after about 20 seconds the game freezes and I turn it off and back on, I then did the same thing with same result (I even tried playing low and medium). I got onto Pay Day 2 and I didn't even make it past the menus before crashing/freezing.

I get no error message when turning it back on. I was confused so I thought maybe it was my fan, I got fanspeed and it tells me I'm at, "180C" no way. BIOS tells me I'm at 38C. I'm so confused I've been a PC gamer for literally 6 hours and a couple seconds. I need help on finding what the problem is.

My specs: i5 4460 processor (4x 3.20GHz/6MB L3 Cache)
r9 270 car
8GB ram
stock fan
mobo ASUS H81M-E/M51AD/DP

Even when I'm not on games my computer will still have a hard time sometimes when a visual change appears and just freezes.
