Schonza

What I mean is, do you know what temp your cpu is running at? By idle I mean when you are not running any programs, except maybe IE or something like that, and by load I mean when you're burning a DVD/Cd or running a virus scan? These tend to help pinpoint your problems.

I'd suggest downloading PC wizard 2006 to monitor your temps.
