those temps are alright including the core. is the computer restarting as sounds like possible videocard problem? is this a recent problem with the games or has it been an ongoing issue?

What are the specs of your PC?

Hi,

Maybe its a power supply issue?

Remove all unnecessary components (second hard drive, ad-on cards, cd/dvd drive, only one ram stick) and check to see if it becomes stable. If the computer is stable after doing this.
THEN
Change the power supply, plug all the components back in and hopefully, now, it should be stable.

Hope this helps!,

It could potentially be a PSU issue, as the unit may be undervolting under load. Before doing all that, what make is your Power supply?
