Keep in mind, the temps reported by the motherboard are not entirely accurate. They can be off by quite a few degrees. Some boards show higher temps than others for the same CPU at the same speed & voltage.
But it probably still is on the warm side. I don't think those temps are high enough to crash the computer though.
Is it the HSF that came with the CPU? You might consider an upgrade.

Yes, it is. I will look into a better fan.
Thanks

has it crashed since updating everything?
if it has, you could take the side off for a few days to see if that helps.

It has not crashed since I unchecked the "auto restart" in system and recovery. So I haven't been able to post any errors....yet.
And I have the sides off all the time.

get this program:

install and see under computer=> sensors
it gives you up to date info on temps and voltages.
Most common cause to sudden reboots is bad voltages. So keep an eye on these.

This may sound to obvious....... but it just might be your power supply.Have it tested under a load and see if it bottoms out

You should try to look in your system configuration in control panel or look in BIOS at startup. If it restarts then....i dont know

How would looking in system configuration help? I really want to hear this one.
Also, pick one account and use it :icon8:
