Okay I ran prime95 for like 10 minutes and the computer turned off then. Cpu temps were like 90-100, especially core 2 was the highest. Any suggestions? :(

Assuming the CPU isn't faulty, which is possible, first thing make certain all of your fans are clean and running properly (case and coolers). You may need to reapply the thermal paste on the CPU/CPU cooler, if you google it you can find a ton of guides and videos showing you how, it's simple, just make sure you have thermal paste prior to starting (Arctic Silver is a good brand if you don't have some already).

Other things you can try, for troubleshooting purposes, if that doesn't help, first, try resetting your BIOS (refer to motherboard manual) in case some setting has gotten out of whack. Also, check the motherboard 's website and update your BIOS if needed. Then disable turbo mode and any power saving features on the CPU in the BIOS, if this helps you may have a undervoltage issue with your CPU and can start adjusting as needed.

All fans are clean since I said its a newly built pc.
It was reapplied twice, also Im not that dummy, sir please. :)
Bios was updated, default settings.
Changed the voltage atm to 1.2V, looks like it's now occuring less much but it still occurs...

Looking forward, thanks for the help.
