If I were you I'd disconnect your SSD and install a fresh copy of windows and the latest drivers on your storage drive along with that game and furmark for testing the GPU and prime95 for testing the CPU as well as some software to crank up the GPU fans and see if you can replicate the crashing to rule out any software/driver issues that might arise from an old windows installation. Are the fans spinning up when you load it? I had a 7950 with a similar cooler and it never broke 80C even with furmark, although it did get a bit noisy. That being said it is odd that it's getting that hot in the first place with a realistic workload that's a great cooler. Even around 95-105C it should start throttling before it actually crashes an app or windows. So it's actually crashing or is the fan controller software shutting down the computer? 90C is an acceptable temperature for a GPU.

My case is a high airflow Cooler Master HAF 932 Full Tower Case with all fans working and set on the highest rpm so I dont think dust or airflow is the problem. The video card isnt overclocked and Ive blown out all dust from the card as well as the computer as well and there is nothing next to the card to inhibit airflow. Im playing a flight sim exclusively (Rise of Flight) and last night I manually shut down the game when it reached 89c. Ive increased the temp on my video card to 90c before shutdown and the card has reached that under load.

Ive also got a NZXT Sentry LX Fan Controller that monitors temps so I can increase the monitored temp before shutdown with the NZXT. Ive got a 2 year old (purchased new) stock Gigabyte Windforce R9 280X that is crashing my computer when I play a video game.
