I'm betting your CPU fan has most likely seized up. This is very normal to happen if you tend to leave your computer on overnight often or your computer is pretty old or both.

The oil on the spindle of your CPU fan has probably run dry from excessive use. (This happened on my old desktop computers power supply fan eventually it seized up and sometimes when I booted the computer the fan would sometimes start spinning and sometimes it didnt it often made a low grinding noise which is an obvious sign the fan has reached its end) When this happens its better and easier to just replace the fan. They arent really that expensive to replace.

EDIT: If you can monitor the fan until it cuts off if the fan is still spinning quickly when it cuts off its probably a power supply issue.

If it was hidden processes causing it which is highly unlikely you would easily notice a massive performance drop in your computer. 81c celsius even on a 100% load cpu is really quite rare even if the ambient temperature is over 40c

The thing is the fan is running. I felt it. Although I can't really tell if it's taking un air on the other side. I'll check again in a few minutes. Not even that is simple for me to replace because of what I had to get.

The symptoms you describe pinpoint overclocking as the culprit you dont overclock do you because a high temp CPU and a normal working CPU fan would highly indicate CPU overclocking gone wrong as the culprit.

There are only very few things can can cause your high CPU temp

They are a

1. A blockage in or on your intake or exaust fan
2. CPU overclocking gone wrong
3. Seized up CPU fan
4. 100% CPU load with an insane ambient temperature (Youd notice this if it were the case anyway)

Your problem has to be caused by one of those 4 since your CPU is overheating. But its up to you to find out which one of those 4 is the culprit.

I can't tell if the intake on that thing is taking in air. I feel air flow but that could just be from the fan in the front of my computer. There is definitely air being blown out from it though and it's cool air.

I do not over clock.

Could the power supply possibly cause that as well? My case is metal and when I touched it I didn't get shocked. When I went to check inside the computer though (while it was unplugged) I was shocked by the hard drives and heat sink. That's never happened before.

Does the rate at which it's heating up seem right to you? It went from 24 to 52 from start up to log in. Then in 5 minutes it went up to 65. Turned it off and did some stuff then turned it back on a couple minutes later and in another 5 minutes it was up to 75

Oh and that last increase was just sitting in the pc health status in the BIOS watching the temperature go up
