hey guys, I just got a new heatsink and now after installing it my pc restarts after like 5 minutes or so, or when I try to launch a game, any ideas?

Dumb question but....
Are you sure it's actually rotating/working?

This happened to me once. Make sure everything is secure. Like all the springs are intact with the motherboard. Also make sure it has an even surface with the cpu.

Yeah, I've seen this problem a million times. Reseat your heatsink and make sure you put a THIN layer of thermal solution on, NOT a giant glob. Make sure it's secure.
