Hey Forum,
Recently my computers been acting up when I play games. Games like CSGO when FPS is capped at 300 crashes after a few minutes of play time. If I cap it at 60 fps, I can play for essentially as long as I like (with a few exceptions - crashing).
I took a look and used programs like OCCT to find out what the problem was, my CPU cores run too hot! It only takes a few seconds doing an OCCT test for one of my cores to get up to ~90-100 C°.
In an effort to fix this, I completely cleaned up my desk underneath where my PC sits. - which was quite dusty and cluttered. I also cleaned out the inside of my PC making a good effort to get all dust out of the system. I reapplied thermal paste to my CPU and here we are with the same problem!
I bloody hope that this isn't a problem with my CPU because I don't want to get a new one - money doesn't grow on threads.
My CPU cores idle at around ~45-53 C°
Thanks for your help,
Henry.

EDIT: When I talk about crashing I mean my PC crashes, not my games. - computer freezing entirely having to restart by flicking power switch off and on.
