Actually ignore the GPU comment it's usually the fans that are at about 45% i got myself mixed up. still i think the heat is usually a bit lower at idle for that as well.

It's a desktop and the temp on speccy is currently 51-52 degrees for the CPU (it keeps changing between them).
No I've had it about 2.5 years. The company who made it was small and ran an ebay shop. The guy was great for all things PC related but unfortunately they closed when the recession hit here, and the flooding in thailand made prices for parts shoot up and they couldn't afford to stay in operation.
Does it appear to be the CPU that is the problem after all?
Actually I think intel give a 3 year warranty so I might be able to claim direct with them if it's the CPU?
Give it a shot..but my last suggestion would be to get a new motherboard which will support your existing ram sticks.
The choice is yours.
OK, so to be clear, are you thinking the issue could be a toss up between the motherboard or the CPU? Are there any tests I can do for the motherboard?
I did update the BIOS for the motherboard to see if that would fix the boot errors. Could the new BIOS have an issue with the processor causing higher temperatures?
