random system shutdown with fans running at full speed

reporting to inform that the issue of display has not happened since i changed the thermal pads and thermal paste, however the hotspot temperature of the gpu has risen to 77 even when im browsing, it spikes to 105 and 106 during gaming, but most of the time it stays in 80s range, i will observe for a few more days and see
Turn off hardware acceleration in web browsers, it's not needed.
 
just now the display prob occured again, i restarted pc and ran the game Hitman 2, the hotspot temperature is reaching 105. I was playing hitman 2 since past 2 days with no issues.
 
ok guys i have an observation to share, i once again repasted the GPU and put new thermal pads. This time i properly cut the thermal pads according to the exact size of the mem chips. The temperature of the GPU and the Hotspot reduced greatly, before when i was gaming the hotspot was easily reaching 105-106 just within seconds of loading into the game, now its staying in 70-80 to range and the highest was 90.

However the display issue is still there, the pc display turns off, the game is running in the background and the fans run at full speed. Can it be something else other than GPU??? some people were saying that i could be the PSU. Any help

Look at the change in temps while browsing, just before this even when the PC was idle the GPU hotspot was 77-79 degrees

Also im once again mentioning it here that when this display issue started to occur---- it was happening even when i was NOT gaming, im guessing that this really might be something else than GPU.

Ya in that sense anything can be bad but i dnt think its the monitor, if i dont run just cause 3 and hitman 3 games the display runs all day smooth. U was just playing sota 2 while browser open in the background with no prob. I will go to my hometown for a month and when i return i hope this thread is open, if i have to replace some pc component i need to ask you guys. Happy holidays friends.
 
Most probably the cooler was not tuching die properly because of thermal pads thickness and/or placement. Or maybe you provided unsufficient amount of paste.

Look, it may be PSU, or the GPU may have degraded over time with such temperatures above 100°C.
