What do I do about high Hot Spot Temps?

I have a PowerColor Red Devil AMD Radeon RX 6800XT. I have had a few minor problems over the years with it, but it has been mostly an amazing graphics card. However, within the last 6 months, my pc has started completely crashing while playing somewhat demanding games, or doing too much multi-tasking. This started with CS2 shortly after I started playing it this year, but has since happened on other random games such as It Takes Two and Black Ops 6.

Most of the time it reboots automatically within a couple of seconds. Sometimes it is partially powered and does nothing when I press the power button. I end up having to toggle off the power supply, then back on and it will let me power on the rest of the pc.

The reason I pose the question is the graphics card's Hot Spot Temp, is because I started monitoring my components with my AMD monitoring app and noticed that during those demanding games, the hotspot exceeds 100 degrees C. It gets close to 110 but at that point, I'm not paying attention to the application and my computer crashes. Another factor to potentially consider is that I bought this 1000W PSU from the states, but I currently reside in Japan. The PSU states it can handle 100W 50Hz power, but my friend is adamant I should replace the PSU. Please give me any advice!
