I really need help with this.

Everything was going fine with my computer. I have a i7 950 in a sabertooth Asus x58. One day i noticed my CPU temp was higher than normal. Didn't think much of it so I didn't do anything till it started getting too hot. I was running a h80 and i bought an h80i. I hooked up everything once I got it in the mail but I was getting the same temps.

So I returned it and started using my h80 again without doing anything severe on the computer. It stayed around the 40c area and it was fine for a couple days. Now all of a sudden it shot up to 80 after dynamically jumping. I restarted the computer and now the CPU shoots up to 80c before windows even boots up and my mother board is giving me a CPU fan error, even though its plugged into the CPU fan spot it has been in for years and it still runs at the same speed its always been running at. I checked the computer bios and I didn't see any indication that the motherboard was reading the fan. But the problem is not turning off the warning, its that the fan is working like it always has but the computer skyrockets in temp.

So my question is. Is my motherboard dying,short or damaged or broken fan pin sockets. Or is my psu dying? I'm starting to believe its not the cooling system

im sure you will work it out , some time something very simple like thermal pest or cooling is not pumping well with low amps or voltage
or power supply no worries about processors the have safety keep trying dont give up it is part of the fun :)

try to run it in minimum hardware plugged into it. remove ram just leave one all usb and all extra hard rives and dvd reset cmos jumpers and wait 3 hrs load default bios keep case opened for air flow and do some more test to pin point the issue . if you have friend with pci mother board testers than will be great . if you have motherboard speaker than what type of beeps you hear . its hard finding out with out playing around . i had issue like that it was powersupply

I unplugged most of everything except gpu and liquid cooling. I downgraded to a less power hungry gpu and its still shooting to ungodly temps and giving CPU fan error. Before all this happened I was running the Comp and tried to play a game on my gtx 460 se. It loaded,froze, then the screen went black. I restarted and there were blue artifacts all over the screen and the drivers no longer full recognized the gpu. I don't know if the psu is crapping out or maybe the heat from the processor got to it and damaged itself. I'm running on a 9600 right now and thats the gpu that I was idling with at 40c. Nothing changed when it decided to sky rocket past 80c. I have a noctua CPU fan, I think I should try that here soon to see if the cooling system was bad. This is the mist frustrating I've had with a computer. I've had the psu die in this same build about a year ago. But it was making high frequency noise and it would restart randomly. This problem it has done that a couple times, but I feel it might be because it got too hot. Not cause the power went out.
