Simply, when I open up SA:MP, IV:MP/IV.. Or Crysis.. The CPU temperature goes from 40-50C to at least 100+.. And then it causes all these shut downs, so... Anything I could do before I kill this PC for real?
(Will buy a new one very soon so no worries..) If it's possible to keep it alive until september, what should I do?

Im going to assume that your on a desktop. Since you speak of changing your CPU
1st of all make sure your Heat sink fan is properly even in place..? Inside your PC Case.
Cause something seems to be very wrong with your CPU fan.

Check if the air ventilation is properly flowing towards heat sync and not disturbed by any dust blanket..
if the problem is still there after cleaning then you may need to upgrade to a new CPU cooler if a bit low on budget then try thermal cooling paste compound..

It works fine when it's cold. But when it gets up in temp then it begins to turn off a few times. But I won't be playing any games until I get my new PC, but I'll see if that works.

Is it an HP?

Nope, some kind of a Dell PC. I don't really know exactly, but it's a home-built PC, so..

Either your CPU cooler's fan is not spinning and is cluttered with dust or has bad contact. Cleaning and re-placing the cpu cooler should do the trick.
When a CPU reaches 105 (depends of manufacturer) degrees Celsius it is designed to shut your PC down to avoid any damage.

Well, I've checked my CPU's temperatures.
And well.. CPU 1's temp is around 20-40C. (Normal.) And CPU 2's is 70-100C. (Not normal.) I took my PC in pieces yesterday, to clean all the dust and such, but it turns out it isn't any dusty or anything, so I believe I should use some cooling paste or similiar.

Using thermal paste between your CPU and CPU cooler is not an option... it is a necessity.

Also great on sandwiches, try it!

Get someone who actually knows what they're doing to take the heatsink off, put new paste on, and refit the heatsink correctly.
Too much paste = bad, too little paste = bad, loose heatsink = lethal

I just wanna say that this is already fixed, I ain't got no over-heating problems anymore, thanks for your advices guys, I appreciate it. Everything is working properly now, and this can be locked for now.
