Hello, I've had an issue with my computer crashing while playing games, this has happened on many different occasions and is beggining to happen more frequently as I go. Generally the more requiring the game the more likely it were to crash, for example I can no longer run games such as Playerunknown battlegrounds on my pc without it crashing instantly, even though It was running perfectly a few weeks ago.
When the crash happens it's always different, blue screen green screen white screen, sometimes my pixels start dissaperaring one by one until it crashes, sometimes it makes a buzzing noise. My first thought was that my graphics card may be overheating, but when I checked the temperatures my GPU temp was around 60-70 which seems acceptable, but my CPU would sometimes go over 100/110 degrees which seems very high. Although the temperatures varied significantly with different programmes which I used to check them, so it didn't seem right.

Below are my specs, thanks for your time and I appreciate the help.

Win 7
Processor Intel core i5-4590
Graphics Nvidia GTX 970
16gb ram

To update, this is my CPU and GPU temperatures on an idle computer and they usually don't get too high, on the other hand the temperatures on the Nuvoton temperature sensor go past 120 degrees, is that something to be worried about or is it just an incaccurate reading?
