This problem popped up yesterday. I tried launching Civ 5 (No G&K DLC) on DX10/11, and it launched, but there was a black screen. I couldn't alt-tab, control-alt-delete, or any of those things. I had to hard-reboot. I tried Civ 5 again on DX9, and it worked flawlessly. I also tried playing BF3 and it locked up the same way. All other games I have still work fine from what I know, TF2, Gmod, and the sort.

[B]EDIT: [/B]​Fixed the problem by downgrading back to 296.10 drivers.
Um...Your CPU is overheating there...

I mean, I'm not sure if it's overheating, but that is hot.
What program is that? I need something like that
It's Piriform Speccy.
Like 12voltsdc said, that's awfully hot for idle. Can you take another screencap of the temp while playing a game?

A short game o' ARMA2. It still hits ~80 on Civ5. I don't think it's the temperature - I've always had these temperatures and this is nothing new.
Holy shit dude that temperature is WAY to high, That's frying temperature dude. Check your CPU immediately, At that temperature you'll be lucky to have anything left of a CPU in a few days. Is it a laptop were talking about?

Post a DxDiag please.
This thing's lasted two-maybe-three years with the i7 and the same heatsink. It's always been that way.
It's a desktop.

Stuff gets dusty over time and then it overheats.
Check your cpu and gpu heatsinks for dust.
And get HW monitor to check your GPU temp. Just leave it on while playing, it saves the highest recorded temperature.
Highest recorded GPU temp was 81 degrees Celsius. This issue just appeared yesterday, I could flawlessly play BF3/games of the sort beforehand.
Open your case and check for dusty heatsinks on both the cpu and gpu.
Dust em off using compressed air (no vacuum).
If you pull off either heatsink you have to re-apply the thermal paste.
