Hi Everyone, I really need some help and solution to my problem. I bought the MSI R9 290x about a year ago to play games in Ultra settings. I play games like H1z1, Dayz, 7 days to die, and other similar games. The problem i am having is that every time i try to run any of those games on High or Ultra settings, the card temperature goes over 92c and somehow my computer is turning off completely and i am not able to turn it back on until it cools down. Sometimes it takes 4-5 hours before i can turn the computer back on. I really need some help because i have good cable management and i dont understand why is overheating.

Please see my computer specs below and also a couple if pictures of my computer.

Asus Sabertooth 990FX R2.0
AMD FD8350FRHKBOX FX-8350
Kraken X61 Cooling
16gb 1600 ram
MSI Radeon R9 290X Gaming OC Edition
My power supply is 750 watts.
1.5tb harddrive Storage
1TB SSD Samsung (OS)
250GB SSD Storage
Avermedia Live Gamer HD Capture Card
Phanteks Enthoo Evolv ATX Case

Hi Bwinzey, the fans are working. I honestly dont know what to do. The only way i can play without the computer shutting down is by playing the games on medium setting which i hate because i paid over 300 dollars for this card.
