So this is my very first PC, I built it a while ago and encountered some problems, every once in while my cpu would overheat and do a thermal lockup. After about a few weeks, I installed a hyper 212 evo, which fixed the problem of overheating, but it still will lockup, even though my temps are around 50 C. I also noticed that with my parts, I should be getting way higher fps in most titles.
My system:
Cpu:Core 2 quad q6600
Ram:8gb DDR2
GPU: Brand new Msi gtx 1050 OC edition 2 gb gddr5
600w evga power supply
Also, I have an old monitor that's 1400 by 900, I tried switching monitor's, but it just did the same thing.

I personally think that the cpu could be faulty, but I'm not sure

I am going to say that you are probably looking at a cpu, ram, and motherboard upgrade.
