My CPU starts up around 40 degrees C (used Speccy) but when I start playing games, after a while it gets to over 80 and sometimes the computer shuts down. Speccy says my motherboard is the same temperature, but my GPU sits around 50.

My heatsink fan is running, I can see it. I reapplied the thermal grease, thinking it had dried up but Speccy still tells me I'm running hot.

AMD FX-4300.
MSI 760GM-P34

Please help.
