The PSU voltages look ok in HWMonitor which makes things look even worse for the MB, voltage regulators (VRMs) when they go bad can cause such problems as what we can see in your screenshots with one of the most common problems being the chipset overheating, in this case the Northbridge.
Try restoring the MBs default factory settings in the BIOS, they are sometimes listed as one of the following " factory defaults" “most stable” or on newer boards “optimized” please note that if your have both the “most stable” and the “optimized” options in the BIOS you should choose the most stable" option as in this instance the “optimized” settings are a form of overclocking that can cause instability.
After doing the above;
Restart your computer and check the temperatures/voltages in the BIOS, no screenshot is required just make a note of the temperatures, the DRAM voltages and the +3.3V, +5V and the +12V rails on the PSU and post them with your next reply.
NB: BIOS voltage readings.
The readings are not conclusive in the BIOS as the computer is under the least amount of load, if they are higher or lower than what they should be though it does suggest a PSU/electrical problem.
Any change since restoring the MBs default settings.
Those readings are ok but as previously mentioned the readings are not conclusive in the BIOS as the computer is under the least amount of load.
Looking at the HWMonitor and Speedfan readings we can see that both items of hardware that have cooling fans are both fine, suggestion, if you have a small desktop type fan, remove the side of the case and direct the cool clean air into the inside of the case then check HWMonitor to see if the MB temps have dropped.
Motherboard, if you do not know what MB means can I ask how you restored the MBs default factory settings in the BIOS :unsure:
As an asides shonbida can I ask that you answer any questions that are asked, it wastes helpers time asking the same questions more than once and the time would be better spent helping other people.

Sorry, and no, as I told you I pressed the default button in the BIOS. here is a photo of the BIOS. (in the bottom right).[ATTACH type=“full”]5449[/ATTACH]
You need to ask around to see if you can borrow a cooling fan that you can direct into the inside of the case, there looks to be nothing else wrong with your hardware other than the MB looks about ready to go into meltdown.
I see that you still have the Western Digital HDD hooked up, it is not safe to save anything to the drive so why leave it in the computer where it can cause you issues, to test the drive see Testing a drive for problems using Data Lifeguard Diagnostics for Windows
It sayed something like “too many bad sectors detected”

Why does it happen? and what should i do, buy a new one?
The drive needs to be thrown in the trash I`m afraid, as to why do HDDs fail, various reasons but a well known one is heat, a HDD will start having problems should the temps get near 50 °C, the drive needs replacing but until you get the temps down inside the case I would not replace anything.
I have a question, This is my computer, the white fan is for the CPU, My question is, The black fan, what it should do? Take the worm air out or get cold air in?[ATTACH type=“full”]5464[/ATTACH]
So, I changed to a bigger fan, and I opened the side case and I leave it opened. I think I can see a change at my FPS, it is quite better. Do you think it fine to leave it opened?
Things would probably be better still if you had an external cooling fan blowing in there as well but the fact that the FPS has improved by fitting a bigger cooling fan and leaving the side off the case more or less nails it on that your MB overheating was the cause of the problem.
Leaving the side of the case is fine as long as it is safe to do so, no small children or pets should be allowed in the same room as a computer that has the insides exposed, this regardless of whether or not the computer is connected to the power outlet.
