This is on a fresh boot, after I've repasted the CPU cooler (which is a Deepcool AK620 Zero dark). Should I worry? I am wondering what's going on because I got 2 crashes this morning while playing a game, the PC just shutdown completely as if loosing power and there were no clear errors in the event viewer. My first thought was that it shutdown due to overheating but it shouldn't be a problem with my cooler so I don't understand.

If thats of any relevance, the thermal paste is TM30 from corsair.
