Pc temps reaching 90 celcius while playing csgo

[CaughtLacking]

Hi i just got a new pc today and when i went to play csgo and started playing for like 30 mins my pc suddenly turned off and i got a message that said cpu "over temperature error" and since this is my first day with my new pc i have been concerned i've downloaded cpu monitoring software and it says that its at 90!! like wtf anyways anyone have any recommendations for me

Clean the dust off the CPU cooler. That's usually the cause for high temperature.

Then the cooler must've been installed incorrectly. Did you build it yourself or is it a pre-built? Double check all the hardware is seated correctly.

I bought it pre built

specs?

post a cpuz validation link
http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html
cpuz -> validate button -> submit button
it will open a browser, copy the url (address) and paste it here

and temps?

check temps while gaming
use hwmonitor, it logs min/max temps

alt+tab takes long enough for the cpu/gpu to drop 20+c

ALT+Tab is fine as long as the monitoring software is already been running in background; then just look at the Max Temps

some oem software does not log min/max, just shows current

the mobo is an asus h170 pro

now i have another problem every time i play csgo and i quit playing my pc just gives no signal and then restarts and then i get this message pop up on the screen that says "pc cpu over temperature error" and then it tells me to go into the bios and at the bios i see my pc at 70 degrees celcius in bold red i dont know what to do should i just not play until i upgrade my cooler or is it just an error that can be fixed any suggestions would be great thank you :)

i5-6402P
should not overheat at all
thats a 65w cpu

gtx 960 is a 120w gpu

that should not make any heat at all if the case has any airflow

is it in a cabinet or somewhere with no airflow aroudn it?

actually its in a tight closed space where the back fan is to the wall and the fan for the hard drives is in the front but why would it give me that error and could that be the problem

move it away from the wall so hot air can exit the case

i think that that was the problem thank you very much but i would still want to upgrade my cooler to an aio liquid cooler

for that cpu, pick up a tx3 or t4
those are cheap and easy to install

ok thx

It is new and from local store > take it back. Explain the problems. Either get another of the same if you like that, or have it refunded and get something else.

They have to fix the issues, or replace it...

It should not overheat with that CPU and Intel Stock Cooler; those CPU don't even get hot. Most likely the Cooler has come loose. Typical for shipped systems really.
