Hi, while playing a game named Subnautica, my CPU keeps overheating to about 80-90c, causing what I refer to friends as "shutdowns" when I suddenly go away. There are several fans, two of them I know what they do, and two I don't know what they do. Here's just an example of the fans:

Thanks for any help, if any specs are needed please ask.

Here is what you need to do:
1. open your computer`s side panel
2. remove the screws/detach the cpu cooler from the motherboard
3. remove the cpu cooler and unplug it from the motherboard
4. apply a small amount of paste to the cpu (1/8 of the tube)*
5. put the cooler back on and hook it up to the motherboard

*use this product: https://www.amazon.com/Arctic-Silver-AS5-3-5G-Thermal-Paste/dp/B0087X728K
do not open the computer on the carpet (if you have any)
take a picture of how it all looked before taking it apart
make sure the power cable is disconnected and the psu is in the "off" position

I would normally do that, but it already has a new paste layer. I also have already dusted it. Anything else?

does the computer say anything when it turns off? is it windows shutting down or is it like your holding the power button? does it give you a message when it turns back on?

No, it's just a simple shutdown. It's like unplugging the computer, plugging it back in, then turning it on again. It's basically rebooting instantly without notice. It's emergency shutting down due to overheating.
