I'm running an e5200 Wolfsdale at stock speeds. Until a week or so ago it was running fine, but at that point I started to notice problems in Team Fortress 2. On the suggestion of a friend I checked my CPU's temps--imagine my astonishment when I discovered it was 103 Celsius! I'm using the stock cooler, but as I say I'd never had any temp problems before.
Any suggestions? When I installed the cooler several months ago, a small amount of the thermal... stuff that was pre-applied to the cooler came off on the processor. Could this be the problem? If it is, is there anything I can do, short of buying a new processor? Motherboard is Foxconn P45A-S.
