I think it is due to my computer overheating but I don't know what is overheating.

This is a screenshot I took a few seconds before my computer shutdown. It seems TMPIN2 is the issue but I don't know what that is or how to fix it.

My Case:
Carbide Series 400R Mid-Tower Case

What's in my case:
1. Gigabyte 990XA-UD3 Motherboard

2. Corsair CX 600w PSU

3. AMD radeon hd 6870 GPU

4. AMD FX-8150 Bulldozer 8-core processor

5. stock fans and thermal paste

6. OS is Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit

Each TMPIN (0,1 and 2) are the temps of sensors integrated inside your rig. Each sensor will differ from a rig to another, but most of the time, TMPIN0 is somewhere on your mobo, near your cpu socket. TMPIN1 and TMPIN2 should either be the temp of the North or South bridge.

For a better view of the problem, you should take a look at your CPU core temps. They should be on top of the HWmonitor window and be called CPU core 0,1,2... to 7 (since your cpu has 8 cores). If they reach 75C, it can damage your hardware so be careful!

I believe TMPIN2 is my northbridge. Since that got up to 94 should I re-apply thermal paste to that too?
