Hi all,
I have an AMD Athlon X4 760K processor and when I use it instead of my other one an (AMD A8-5500) it causes my PC to randomly shut down. I am thinking due to overheating and I might have proof but I also have a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo CPU cooler so shouldn't that be helping the issue? Everything in my PC is brand new.
CPU- AMD Athlon X4 760K 3.8GHz Quad-Core Processor
CPU- Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler
Memory- Crucial Ballistix Sport 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Storage- Samsung 850 EVO-Series 120GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Storage- Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Video Card- EVGA GeForce GTX 960 4GB SuperSC ACX 2.0+ Video Card
Case- Corsair 350D Window MicroATX Mid Tower Case
Power Supply- Corsair CX 750W 80+ Bronze Certified
Mother Board- MS-7778 (JasmineR) MSI
The motherboard is from an HP Pavilion 500-054... it's a MS-7778 (JasmineR) FM2 socket... it had all these parts in it but I am slowly moving out of them. Here is the HP page with all my parts listed as they were when I bought it.
Here's the Temp Readings:

What do you guys think? I didn't apply too much thermal compound, I also clean it very well and make sure there isn't any dust or lint contacting the CPU upon installation. I also ran prime95 for a torture test for 20 minutes and no problems, no errors and the OrderDrive application Thermal Margin settled around 20C after 5 mins steady.
Today whilest gaming on GTA 5 I had no problems but later in the night I was playing Rocket League and my PC shut down again. I really have searched everywhere and have found 0 answers. I am NOT willing to spend money on new hardware. When I have extra I will be upgrading my MoBo + CPU to an Z97 & i5 4950K.
However, until then what do I do? I want to continue to use the 760K because I get noticeable FPS increases through gaming while using it.
If anyone is willing to help me with this issue, I would be willing to pay for your time. I have so many problems with this and I'd really like to solve them.
Also, when I look at the event viwer it says event 42- Kernel Power Error.
Thanks for Reading.
