Hi.
I borrowed a used a computer with:
- CPU Intel Xeon E3 1240 3,3GHz and
- motherboard MSI B75MA-P45 (MS-7798)
- good case with 3 extra big fans
- Elementum E2 SI-450 (450 W) power supply
- aluminium radiator similar to this one:

but without the copper part
- AG Silver thermal paste that I changed yesterday
I reset settings in Click Bios II to default values and I use "standard mode" in bios. I have Windows 10 and when PC does not much, temperature is ~ 40 C degrees, but when I run many processor-consuming programs, the temperature can rise even above 80 degrees. When I run "Precise CPU Stress" program for 1 minute with "CPU stress level" to 90%, temperature rises to 92 degrees !!
I changed the thermal paste yesterday and tried so many options in BIOS (include default options, ECO, etc.) and it it's still more than 90 degrees. Yesterday I was working hard most day and suddently Windows froze for 2 seconds, then I hit Ctrl + Alt + Delete and the most CPU-consuming program (PHP Storm) terminated instantly and all other program and OS were working fine. I think this happened because of the high CPU temperature. Why is this happening? I even tried reducing CPU multiplier in BIOS to 14x and it changed NOTHING ... I did this after hibernating Windows, but I think it doesn't matter whether I hibernate OS or restart it for this purpose, does it?
What can be reason of overheating? As far as I know the CPU and RAM had 2 owners before me (could be used theoretically for many years) and other hardware parts were used for less than 1 year - this is what the previous owner (the guy who borrowed me the computer) declares... would you believe him? The hardware looks very clean and the computer never had any other crash other than the one I described.
According to Intel (as far as I understand the webpage) this processor should work under 69 C degrees maximum:

Do you think that any parts of this computer can be damaged? What can I do with that?
Please help
