What I noticed was that whenever I stress test my CPU and GPU, my CPU goes to temps of over 80C and my GPU can go all the way to 91C in just a few minutes, could this be an overheat/thermal paste issue?
80 degrees or 91 degrees is not a high temperature for a stress test.
But if you have doubt, you may report us the heat of the computer after a couple of hours of your normal usage. Upload a screenshot of the summery tab of Speccy. Alternatively, you can publish a Speccy snapshot too: Speccy - Publish Snapshot of your System Specs .
Also, enable Driver Verifier to monitor the drivers.
Driver Verifier - Enable and Disable
Run Driver Verifier for 24 hours or the occurrence of the next crash, whichever is earlier.
InformationWhy Driver Verifier:
It puts a stress on the drivers, ans so it makes the unstable drivers crash. Hopefully the driver that crashes is recorded in the memory dump.
How Can we know that DV is enabled:
It will make the system bit of slow, laggy.
WarningBefore enabling DV, make it sure that you have earlier System restore points made in your computer. You can check it easily by using CCleaner looking at Tools > System Restore.
If there is no points, make a System Restore Point manually before enabling DV.
Let us know the results, with the subsequent crash dumps, if any.Tip
- If you fail to get on the Desktop because of DV, Boot into Advanced Boot Options > Safe mode. Disable DV there. Now boot normally again, and try following the instruction of enabling DV again.
- If you cannot boot in Safe mode too, do a System Restore to a point you made earlier.
Here is the Speccy Snapshot link, will keep updated, so far no BSODs.

I just got a crash, not a BSOD though, screen went all glitchy and I had to hard reboot my computer. Attaching picture of how my screen looked like, I'm now guessing that it may be the GPU, I had it replaced 3 times (same model) because sometimes my PC would just turn off or it wouldn't even boot when I put in the new GPU. Any ideas?
Exactly what power supply do you have in your Dell system. Please include that information in your (My System Specs).
I can find no information on a Umax power supply. That isn't a good sign.
I can not verify and facts on that power supply what so ever.
Their can be more than one problem with your computer but to me a starting place would be with a quality known brand name like Corsair or Seasonic. A quality power supply is the roots of a computer.
I have found a few Googles that mention Umax PSU's but am not sure of what the model is.
I cannot find it listed here either http://whirlpool.net.au/wiki/psu_manufacturers
or the other link to all intents and purposes it must be out of production although I still find those posts for queries on those PSU's.
Most of them are asking about using a crappy Umax PSU with GPU's and scanners??
The other thing I noticed about the OP's specs is the OS ? Colima??
