Check the CPU and GPU temperatures with programs that can read the onboard thermal sensors, the Asus software doesn't do this so doesn't produce useful temperature readings.* Try CPU ID Hardware Monitor for CPU temperatures. If that looks good, make sure all the power cables are connected to the motherboard (24-pin and 8-pin) and try updating the motherboard BIOS. If that doesn't help, try disabling Asus surge protection. It seems like it has a hair-trigger sometimes. *I've actually researched this and I don't know how Asus generates the CPU temperature their monitoring software displays. It's not from any of the on-die thermal sensors (and it's not offset), it reads significantly below the CPU temperature, and seems to lag it somewhat in time. I've heard some people say it reads a sensor near the CPU socket and applies a conversion factor to approximate CPU temperature, which seems idiotic but would explain the readings. The temperature reading that actually matters is what monitoring programs call the Package Temperature, which is the highest reading any of the CPU temperature sensors are currently showing.

That's likely an unconnected sensor, you might try shutting the system down and letting it cool for awhile, then checking in the BIOS immediately after turning it on to see what it is, I bet it is still around that temperature. The CPU temperature doesn't seem too bad depending on what you're doing, but yeah feel free to reseat. You should see a square imprint where the heatsink squished the thermal paste out of the way due to pressure.
