Processor temperature issues are usually caused by improper fan/heatsink integration or its failure. You may want to remove the heatsink, inspect its pins just to make sure they are not broken or bent and integrate it again applying new thermal compound if needed. When properly installed, the heatsink should not wiggle or shake if you attempt to move it; the pins should not come up if you try to pull them up.

We suggest you to clean the fan and make sure there are no obstructions or noises. The fan should be connected to the motherboard's CPU fan header. Please refer to the following links:

You may also reset the BIOS in your motherboard as an incorrect setting or overclocking the CPU or memory may cause the processor to overheat. The processor should be tested with the default settings but keep in mind other settings may be reset as well affecting the operating system.

You may monitor the temperature from the BIOS or using the Intel® Desktop Utilities. The Intel® Processor Diagnostic Tool is also available from the link below. We cannot guarantee that other monitoring software tools will provide a correct temperature reading.
