Randomly the desktop shuts down and my cpu fan (only that fan) goes crazy fast and makes lots of noise (cpu is an AMD 6300).
I have updated all of my drivers and nothing changed and when I look inside it seems that there is nothing wrong.
The temperature does not seem to be the problem since it was 65°c.
My guess would be that something went wrong with the installation of the new windows defender, since I have never seen it booted up when the computer was on (I use avast, so I deactivated it but it still runs in the background).
What should I do?

So other games are fine? Try running a benchmark like 3DMark, also run Prime95 in stress mode to see if the system locks up then.
