Hello forums, basically what the title says, I've gotten a very high temperature in GPU after I reformatted my computer because of a problem that didn't allow me to start up my windows and keeps sending me to the "Attempting Repair" screen.
So, I'm looking at my EVGA Precision window without playing any games and it's at around 55-60 C, but when playing games it goes up to 100 C, which causes the fan to repeatedly rev very high and back down again. The first time I played my game after reformatting, my computer restarted, and I'm assuming it's to stop the computer from blowing up. I've played for a little again, but there seems to be no more restarting, but I am too scared to continue on playing. This has NEVER happened before the reformat and this is the first time that this has ever happened to me. I have also just recently opened my case and cleared the dust. Here are my computer specs. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
