However, the cpu temp measurement you have recorded will be a bios reading? -up to 30C lower than on die readings. Your on die temp may therefore exceed 100C! An average stable system seems to run the chip at around 40-50 deg C (bios reading). Thus your system is running at least 20deg C above average. I assume therefore that this is indeed the cause of sporadic problems. Better case ventilation is the answer, tidy wires, install at least one internal fan etc... Hope this helps.
