I just recently replaced the stock heatsink that came with the AMD FX-8150 with a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo and have been having a lot of issues with my computer ever since.

I first noticed the problem when I was playing Skyrim, the computer just shut off after an hour of gameplay. I tried again and it happened even faster. So I tried a prime95 test to see if it was overheating and yep, it sure was.

I ran a Large FFTs tourture test in Prime95 and it lasted around 45 minutes until the computer overheated and shut down. Two out of the eight workers halted due to hardware issues and only six workers padded the 128k test. Here are two pictures with the amount of TIM I applied: Heatsink with TIM Side Shot of TIM

And here is the Prime95 error log:

It shuts down as a security mesurement, but it totally seems like the heatsink is not applied properly. Did you use proper silver paste on the CPU surface and secured the sink tightly to the mainboard?

On the picture it looks like there's not enough spread out paste.
