Well this could be a couple of things.

you may need new thermal compound on CPU and your fan may be going on the heat sink.

Your powersupply could be failing.

or the Motherboard or CPU could be failing.

Could also be a virus.

Yea, I would go with a hardware problem on this one.. How old is your system? Check your fan's speed in the bios.. Probably an overheating issue w/ ur fan and thermal compound.. You might want to buy a new fan.

That was the problem with AMD's, they over heat quicker.

amds? intel cpus get much hotter than amd

[TT4Titans]

The new AMD's stay cooler than the P4's.

The new AMD's stay cooler than the P4's.

But the old AMDs had major heat issues

[Don Gino]

Yea, I am not sure about the new ones, i have an AMD 64 3000+, doesnt get hot. Like jbennet said, it was just probably the old ones

[joshSCH]

My amd athlon 64 X2 dual core 4200+ can get up to around 56 degrees Celsius...

[jbennet]

its the old K7s and the old (not 64 bit) athlons that had major heating issues.
