So my performance, especially while playing games, has been suffering lately and I finally restarted the computer only to have it fail to boot up. it would automatically go to the BIOS menu due to a CPU overheating error. In BIOS the CPU temp said it was 88 degrees Celsius. It's a 3770k, not overclocked or anything, with a Corsair H100i. One of the hoses on the H100i running from the CPU to the fans at the top of the case was considerably warmer than the other one.
Tips? What should I look for or what do I need to do? It's only been doing this the past few days and the overheating error popped up for the first time today, so whatever the problem is I think I caught it early. Want to figure out what to do so I don't wind up blowing my CPU or something.
ETA: After waiting a while for it to cool down I have it running and it's sitting at ~50 degrees (ranging from 48-52 with a high of 54 so far).

I'm certainly not an expert on cooling or overclocking, but why would you liquid cool a non-overclocked CPU?

Maybe. You've got to do some "chicken or the egg" analysis - is there, maybe a damaged component in the system allowing the CPU to overheat - or is the problem in the CPU iteself?
It may not be the cooling solution -

I think that's how coolers are supposed to work - take the hot away, bring the cool in - I could be wrong about that, though.
