i went into the bios and checked the temps, and the 2 temps it gave were (first) 28ºc and the second was around 49ºc
Th first was case temp and the second was CPU- those are normal/warm but the fan may have cooled the processor back down. Once my processor comes out from under a load, my temp drops fast. Anything over 60 getting to the point of being hot. you're not far from it at all.

The reason I suggested the motherboard monitor is that you can set an alarm that will go off once you hit a certain temp. Mine is set for ~160F which is about 60C( my cpu runs about ~90F but will hit 155 or so during long gaming sessions-I need better venting myself) That may help you eliminate that aspect of it and move to something else, such as video card or power supply voltages ( MBM also shows voltages going through the motherboard, which could possibly show if you're having voltage spikes causing the failures).
