PC Peripherals Help needed for Processor Temparature

Hi, 1st let me state my PC configuration...
Intel Pentium D
Intel D945GCCR
1 x 1GB Transcend DDR2 @ 577 MHz(Not sure, but it's not 667 for sure)
1 x 2GB Zion DDR2 @ 800MHz
XFX 9500GT 1GB DDR2
WD Sata HDD
LG DVD Writer
Frontech 500W SMPS

The PC is 3 years old.

The problem started 1week ago, my PC started turning off automatically now and then, and when I used to start it again, it used to display something like PC has been turned off due to thermal event.

Then one day I kept monitoring temp. and fan speeds from BIOS, and the processor temp. suddenly rised to 120deg. C and automatically the PC turned off.

I thought, the stock thermal paste might has been of no use after 3years, so I bought one local thermal paste and applied it(Ofcourse after cleaning the previous one thoroughly).

Alas! The case was not resolved, pc still used to get turned off after few hours.

Now today I thought the stock Intel Fan might has been faulty(Though I found no reason logically, as I already have cleaned it that day), So I bought a basic CM Fan, removed the local thermal paste that I applied some days before and applied the new thermal paste that came with CM Fan, and fixed it.

Now on monitoring from BIOS, it went upto 80deg C, I kept monitoring for 15mins.

Now if the case goes same what should be my next step??

Well, I'm also looking for a new configuration now. But still I''d like to know my troubleshooting ways out.
 
Well, That's the basic thing I checked, whether HSF is getting fitted properly.

Ok before going for a new rig, let's apply MX-2 or TX-2 as you said, any idea how much are they priced at??

--- Updated Post - Automerged ---

Actually 1st time I went to bought Arctic Cooling Thermal Paste, but they are not available locally on my area, so end up with some crap local thermal paste.

Though, now I don't hesitate to give it a try, but do you really think I should buy a thermal paste costing 1000/- or 2000/- for Pentium D and that even on room temperature 9deg. C??
 
u should also check core voltage

u mean to say CM hsf or only fan

@hades

i don't think CM makes non-standard tim but decent one
 
^^

The TIM procedure needs to be redone after reading following DIY guide ~ Guide - How TIM Works & How To Apply It Correctly | bit-tech.net

buy any standard TIM Arctic Silver costs ~ 600/- < Bangalore> or if you want something cheap Tuniq TX-2 ~ 300/- is also a good buy.

@vip

I doubt it can be a core voltage issue as OP has not Oced his system, but never wrong to check and as it is a cheap Frontech PSU it is highly suspect.

Hope this helps :)
 
For voltages, here is the output

Code: 
krishnandu@krishnandu-desktop:~$ sensors

sch5127-isa-06f0

Adapter: ISA adapter

in0:         +1.54 V  (min =  +0.00 V, max =  +3.32 V)   

in1:         +1.19 V  (min =  +0.00 V, max =  +2.99 V)   

in2:         +3.29 V  (min =  +0.00 V, max =  +4.38 V)   

in3:         +1.19 V  (min =  +0.00 V, max =  +1.49 V)   

in4:         +1.09 V  (min =  +0.00 V, max =  +1.49 V)   

in5:         +3.38 V  (min =  +0.00 V, max =  +4.38 V)   

in6:         +3.20 V  (min =  +0.00 V, max =  +4.38 V)   

fan1:       2482 RPM  (min =    0 RPM)

fan2:          0 RPM  (min =    0 RPM)

fan3:          0 RPM  (min =    0 RPM)

temp1:       +51.2°C  (low  = +54.0°C, high = +67.0°C)  ALARM  

temp2:       +33.2°C  (low  = +45.0°C, high = +65.0°C)  ALARM  

temp3:       +31.4°C  (low  = +54.0°C, high = +67.0°C)  ALARM

Well, I applied thermal paste correctly after reading DIY Guides.

BTW System is running fine now, though I don't want to make any final comments now, as I want to monitor in a long term say a week and continuously running for more than 6hours(Not Idle), will do that on sunday.
 
i think you are putting on the HSF improperly.

and a tip, use toothaste as TIM, pentiums dont need much.
also make sure there arent any dust bunnies in the HSF.
 
That was the case before, but now the temp. looks fine. And I tighten all the screws with bracket, that's the basic most important thing I looked at i.e. putting the HSF properly.

BTW what does voltages says??? Is it fine??
