Plenty of potential problems...
As for the fans that shutdown, are they attached to the motherboard and running on a BIOS/UEFI preset? Are they running from a fan controller that cannot handle the total power draw and it's shutting them down because it's overloaded? Are they on a fan controller or BIOS/UEFI setting that's telling them to run at a speed/voltage that's too low for them to spin? (Some fans won't even start to spin until given at least 7V of current, while others start at 3 to 5V
In regard to the temp spike, did you move the PC around or install something recently and and perhaps leave a loose screw or debris inside that's causing a fouled fan or short? Maybe the CPU heatsink's fan died? Perhaps the heatsink wasn't mounted firmly enough and it somehow shifted position...
Lots of potential issues, besides the potential power issue Saga mentioned.
I'd disconnect it, lay the case on a table, then open it up and inspect everything.
