My CPU Normal Temperature Is 45-55°C. But When I Start Using It Like Playing​ Games And Playing Music N Vedio The Temperature Starts Rising Rapidly...N It Goes Above 80°C...So I Thought I Should Clean It. I Cleaned It Properly And Applied The Thermal Paste In A Correct Manner...But Still The Temperature Is Rising...What Should I Do... My CPU- Intel Pentinum 4 631 Cedar Mill 65nm Technology
My Heat Sink - Intel Heat Sink..

Please Help!!!

Just checking, but when you say applied thermal compound "in the correct manner", did you apply a small "pea-sized" amount (its just a saying; we don't actually mean the actual size of a pea though)? Also, if you lifted the heatsink off whilst you were trying to mount it, it could introduce air bubbles, which you don't want.

If you did everything correctly, we might want to delve into your cooling setup. How many fans do you have in your case? And are they all spinning (including the cpu fan)? If you have insufficient case cooling, the temperature inside the case will rise overtime, making your cpu run even hotter. You can watch this video about how the number of fans in your case can help with temperature...

You can also try to buy a better fan than that stock intel heatsink. However, I hardly think an old Pentium 4 631 would warrant buying any aftermarket cooler in the first place. That is true unless you have overclocked it.
 
Solution

Most likely - CPU cooler is not correctly installed.
When you removed it previously, you had to turn black push-pins, that hold cooler into place.
To reinstall cpu cooler, push-pins have to be turned back into previous position. If you don't do it, that results in bad contact between cpu and cooler.

This is common mistake people make, when reusing Intel coolers.
