CPU/temperature trouble??

[EricW]

Lately I've been having some troubles with my pc. It seems to be freezing completely at random. I already formatted my HDD and reinstalled Windows XP. When I try to reinstall XP SP2 or Adobe Acrobat Reader, it freezes again! I also installed the Intel Active Monitor (It measures CPU temperature and other). To my surprise the temperature is about 212 degrees fahrenheit at the processor zone (103 degrees celsius) when i'm installing XP sp2 or performing a virusscan. I already have a cooling fan installed on my CPU. Can anyone tell me what the problem is? Is my CPU on it's way to heaven (or hell!!) ?

The specs of my pc are:
CPU: Intel Pentium 4 1300Mhz,
Motherboard: Intel D850GB
Memory: 384 MB (RDRAM)
Video: NVIDIA GeForce2 MX 64MB
OS: Windows XP Pro Service Pack 1

Help!!!!

Thanks,
Eric
