    SOLVED!!

    I found out how to show a real time graph from OpenHardwareMonitor and it showed CPU temps were off the topof the chart while Prime95 was running. So I took the fan off the back of teh CPU cooloer and what did I see? All the heat sink fins were totally clogged with fuzz and dust. So I cleaned all that out with a vacuum and now the CPU temps stay withing reason.

    Uploading images doesn't seem to work right now but I'll try again to show some pics later on.

    This is how the heatsink looked before cleaning. It was pretty awful. But a few seconds with the vacuum cleaner hose cleared it out almost like new.
