Lately my pc has been crashing while playing games. I have no idea why as i was able to run practically 5-6 games at a time without any lag on my pc until recently. My temperatures are fine, maybe it has to do with moving to an old house, or maybe because I havent really used my pc very often lately?

Help would be appreciated, I will give as much info as needed to help solve >.<

you cpu is to hot, depending on you bios settings intel chips will shut down if a 100*c is sustained for more then a few seconds. since you said that playing D3 for a few min was showing mid 90's on most cores, im going to say your cpu is shutting down your computer.

You need to pull the cooler off, clean the cooler and cpu off, reapply thermal past and see what your temps are afterwords. Your idle temps should be somewhere around the 30's.

thats after a few mins of playing diablo 3 at lowest graphics settings ( Usually play highest)
My CPU usage seems to spike a lot between 60-80% while in game too, I'll get a list of the parts I used to make my pc, just be a sec
