I have checked all my drivers they are up to date , Heat is not an issue I checked I don't know whats happening

My specs are
AMD Phenom II processor
MSI 880GMS - E35 Motherboard
Nvidia Geforce GTs 250

Check the video card for dust and that the fan is running normally. Make sure the fan is clean and free of dust

I believe it may be My Processor I checked when it gets to 60 C it MAkes my PC shutdown How can I cool it even further ?
 
You are going to have to re-install the CPU heatsink. You will have to clean off the old thermal paste and apply a small amount of new paste
 
Do you have a friend or family member that can do this for you? A computer service shop can do it for you too
