Worried about PC temperatures
I recently played in the Overwatch beta, where I experienced a bit of stuttering after some time, which was then followed by a crash. Afterwards, I checked for my PC's temperature, and noticed it got really hot, making me think it possibly overheated. Since then, I've been keeping a closer look on the temperature when doing things. Everything is fine, until I start playing a game on it again. Temperatures go up way high, and I'm getting a bit worried about this. Just earlier I played like 30 minutes of another game that shouldn't be too demanding for my system, but got temperatures that looked pretty high to me. After alt-tabbing out to take a screenshot of this (which it actually didn't save, so I can't show it) and then wanting to return to the game, the screen stayed black and froze, forcing me to restart my PC. Anyway, retried again, getting these results after like 15 minutes of playing that same game:
Is my PC close to dying (lol)? I've been using it pretty intensively for... 4 or 5 years now, but I've really never had huge issues with it up to now (except with having mediocre performance playing certain games).
Advice? Suggestions?
