A week or so ago I noticed a very weird whining noise coming from my PC. The only way I can describe it is perhaps a stock horror movie girl scream but not as intense and it wound up if you know what I mean. It wasn't ear piercing, actually far from it but it was noticeable.
I couldn't figure out where it was coming from. Even after sticking my face in the case it was still hard to decipher but it seemed like it may have been coming from the back of the case which is where my PSU is. After a day or two it completely stopped. But after that I can no longer play Battlefield 4 without my CPU going up into the 80s Celcius 170's Fahrenheit and the PC shutting off.
To be fair I never monitored my temps prior to this but I have been told that is extremely high. I had this thing built during Christmas of 2012. I had not changed the thermal paste at all. I was a noob at computers when this thing was built but now I know so much more. And today I bought new thermal paste and re-applied it hoping to fix the issue. Just an FYI I have a stock cooler. But it hasn't been an issue for 2 solid years. This all started after that whining sound.
I put a dot in the center of the CPU the size of a pea and re applied the heat-sink. It's been about 4-5 hours since I did that. To be fair when I took the heat-sing off it looked like the person before me put a fair bit more than I did. I just don't understand. But here are a few things for you guys that may help with a diagnosis.
1) It's a bulldozer series
2) I just applied new paste
3) Stock heat sink
4) It's going to be a very hot week. The upper 90's all week long. If it's hot outside my PC normally breathes harder than normal.
5) It's over heating even with the top and front bezels off and the left side panel.
I have a 700W Power supply known as the "CoolerMaster Extreme Power Plus" It's not certified of any kind such as bronze, silver, gold or platinum.
The current idle temp is 14(C) which can fluxuate anywhere up to the 20s or 30s for a few seconds but it seems to be steady.
Not sure what else I can give for help here. I did some research and I found that this CPU gets really REALLY hot. I know all CPUS do but this one is kind of severe. I know stock heat sinks could be an issue. I might even have to go to liquid cooling but I am not even OCING.
Here are some screens for you guys.

Not sure what else you guys need.
So far this has only happened when trying to play Battlefield 4. But this is new because I have been playing BF4 since it came out and this never happened until after that weird whining noise. But then again when it's hot outside my PC is hot because it's hotter indoors even with the air on.
