My computer crashed while gaming (black screen) and then failed to reboot and I had to hold down the power button to shut it down.
After I turned it on it crashed twice while idling but if I keep it off by an hour it goes back to normal and wont crash while idle but if I try to play a game again it crashes once more.
My specs are:
Motherboard: Gygabyte F2A88XM-D3H
Processor: Amd A8 6600k
Graphics card: Amd R7 260x
Ram: Hyper x 8gb
All of this is powered by a 650w power supply.
Could this problem be related to overheating?
Or maybe my build lacks more energy?

Have you ever checked the temperatues in this system before? Do you have anything to compare?

It's running really hot at idle but apparently speccy can report incorrect temperatures with some AMD chips. You should probably get the AMD Overdrive utility and see what that says.

I don't know why it's so hot then. That looks like a stock cpu cooler/fan. You should probably replace it. Decent aftermarket heatsinks/fans aren't very expensive and work much better than stock ones.

I don't know for amd chips. I've used Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVOs in my last two builds.
