Ok so recently my gaming PC has been shutting off randomly, as I write this I fear for my power. Anyways, I took a look at the temps and they same ridiculous. 3 years ago in March this forum helped me build my gaming PC. Fast-forward 3 years later, it's been working great... until last week. So I took a look at my temps and they don't seem right. I've included pictures below. Also I've noticed it says my cpu is running at 201mhz, is that normal? Also motherboard seems like it's running hot. Could this be the reason my computer has been shutting off? If so, how do I fix it?

My case is a Zalman Z9 with like 8 fan slots so I can install those if necessary.

EDIT: Forgot to include, these are idle temps. I'm not gaming.
Not overclocking btw, never have.

You are overclocking your CPU from 3.5ghz to 4.1ghz (Or it's boosting to 4.1ghz). Your CPU will certainly be picking up more heat especially if you have your core voltage up. The 201mhz is your base clock I believe. When you applied your multiplier to overclock it multiplied that clock speed by whatever the multiplier was set to (probably a x20 multiplier).

Whether you are overclocking or enabling turbo boost what above still holds true. I would first look at the core voltage. Go into your BIOS/UEFI and see that it is set to AUTO or 1.425v (preferably auto). If resetting it back to AUTO doesn't fix next I would check to make sure the CPU fan is plugged into the CPU fan header. It should be labled on the motherboard, if not it will be...

If resetting it back to AUTO doesn't fix next I would check to make sure the CPU fan is plugged into the CPU fan header. It should be labled on the motherboard, if not it will be in the MB manual. If that is correct/corrected I would then move on to removing the CPU heatsink completely, cleaning it, and re-applying thermal paste then remount the heatsink/fan. If all that fails you could try a BIOS/UEFI reset to defaults. This last step could also be done in place of checking if the core voltage is set to auto.
