BSODs Even after doing a system reset

So I tried running memtest86 again, however my computer shut off while memtest86 was running once again... At the time that the computer shut off memtest86 said the temperature of the CPU was 87 C. I'm wondering if I could have a temperature issue. I have an AMD FX-8350.

Shut down=99.9 percent overheating. With temp too high, it will just click off with no warning.
That's the usual thermal protection. Please check the heatsink and fan.

I just ordered two bottles of compressed air and thermal paste! Thank you!

Hello, small update. I downloaded HW Monitor and I tried to see to what extent would the temperatures rise to. To test this, I ran a very CPU intensive game (Monster Hunter: World) for around 30-45 minutes (somehow didn't blue screen). Highest temperatures reached during gameplay were consistently 69 C, but once the game closed the temperatures skyrocketed to the 79 C point.

One thing of note is that the game closed itself after staying around the 69 C point for a while. I booted up the program steam and tried to download some stuff to stress the CPU and the computer temps went all the way to 79 C. Steam later also closed itself. Could these be a result of a stressed processor? How bad are the temperatures I'm getting? (AMD FX-8350 processor)

Thanks!

The unexpected terminations, make me suspect the video card, especially an overclocked GPU and the temps being high.

I recommend that you disable the 0-RPM feature and manually adjust the GPU fan, probably to at least around 2,500 RPM.

And I suspect the above, because I had a problem with GTA V getting terminated unexpectedly when in the middle of driving around, after a while of playing GTA V, (which the incident was in 2018, when I first got GTA V)
when I had the PNY GeForce GTX 960, which appears to probably have a factory OC and the fan RPM was too low, when I checked with MSI Afterburner, IIRC. But stubborn me, initially, didn't bother raising the GPU fan RPM and solely blamed GTA V, IIRC, LOL!

I can't recall such issue with GTA V when using my Asus Strix GeForce GTX 970 nor my XFX Radeon RX 580 8 GB.

The temps are are definitely high. Need more cooling!

With my Radeon RX580, I have a fan curve that's focused on keeping the temps from sustaining higher than 60 C.

IIRC, my RX480 GPU temp according to HWMonitor was hitting a max of 81 C... guess as of now I have a fan to adjust, a heatsink to clean, and thermal paste to reapply. Then, I can finally test the RAM sticks without the computer overheating. Hopefully cleaning out the heatsink and lowering the temperatures fixes the blue screen issues, don't want to buy more RAM sticks hahaha... thanks once again

The BSODs are more likely the RAM than the CPU, unless you made the CPU core clock higher than factory.

I'm using the Radeon Adrenalin software suite to change the fan settings.
I have a rather aggressive fan ramp-up in response to reported card failures.
Whether the failure type is GPU substrate-to-die separation or fried MOSFETs.

Well, I'm going to clean out the heatsink and reapply thermal paste on the processor. If I get another BSOD, I'm just gonna immediately swap out the RAM hahaha

Actually now that I think about it, would reapplying thermal paste be overkill? I've had my computer for about 3 years now. I don't know how much cooling I will get from re doing the thermal paste. Maybe I will just leave the heatsink in the computer and just get rid of all the dust currently in the case and see how that goes.

it's not overkill. you need to put top quality thermal paste in your pc

Alright, now I'm seriously stumped. I swapped out both of the ram sticks and I'm still getting blue screens. A nice thing however is after I replaced the faulty HDD with the SSD the blue screen occurrences went down, but they are still occurring.

One thing that I did try doing was using prime95, and my system failed within a minute. Is my CPU damaged?

could be. you did all what you could. now you should send pc to good service center for a checkup
