Hi guys!
I've been having a restart problem for a week now. Whenever i'm playing games and reach exactly 51c/123f my system will restart. I've bought a new case, got 3 new fans, new power supply, new ram.
I've been googling for solutions since it started and I recently found this dead topic:

Sounds exactly like someone suggested:
The mobo/cpu is rather old, roughly 4 years. However, i'm broke and cannot afford buying anything, not even thermal paste. Is there a test I can do to see if it's really tripping at the wrong temp? (i've already turned it off in bios) and if it is, is there a fix for this?
Another thing I should mention, problems started when I downloaded omega drivers for my ati radeon x850. I uninstalled them but is it possible it set a shutdown temp for my GPU?
Thanks for all the help, I appreciate it.

what might be happening is the mobo temp sense circuitry or the thermistor on the cpu die has aged and they are "tripping" at a lower temp. They think the temp is critical, but in real life it might still only be 50-55C.
