I suddenly can't run games?

Okay so I built my computer about half a month ago, and up to now its worked great. But today I decided to run far cry 3, the game booted up and everything worked fine for about 10 seconds then the frame rate dropped to that which was unplayable, and then my pc just shut down. I tried the same with skyrim, the same happened but I turned skyrim off before it could shut down.

My specs are:

2x4gb Corsair DDR3 Vengeance
Intel Core i5 3470, 1155, Ivy Bridge
Gigabyte GA-B75m-D3V, Intel b75. S
2GB XFX Radeon HD 7850 Core Edition
430W Corsair Builder Series CMPSU-4

I downloaded CPUID Hardware monitor, and the temperatures everything is currently at (not running any games) are..

Any help would be appreciated.

Ivy bridge will shut down at 60 degrees. First check your errlog.dat file to see what killed the computer. You can google any unfamiliar codes. Faling that, might want to use the CPU monitor gadget to live monitor your temps. If I remember right you can tell it to autolog to a text file. Stock CPU cooler?

Huh??? Ivy bridge won't shut down at 60c... it shuts down at ~105c .

Anyway if you are idling at 54c-89c (i would expect ~40c on stock cooler), something is wrong with your CPU cooler, You might want to try reapplying it and monitoring the fan speeds
