Yeah that's way too high. Have you cleaned out your computer of dust, particularly the CPU cooler. Use a can of compressed air or an air compressor for that. If they're still high after that you'll probably want to look in to getting a new cooler or at the very least reapplying your thermal paste. There's also a possibilty that your CPU fan isn't spinning. Open up the side of the computer and turn it on. Make sure the CPU fan is spinning correctly.

What case do you have? Your thermal paste might be dried up. I would suggest reapplying that before spending money on a cooler if you don't need it

Temps are still high after that overclock? Did you bump the voltage back down (if you changed it in the first place)? The PC is brand new or did you get it used?

Your CPU or motherboard might be faulty then. You could try a new cooler but not sure what good that would do since it is brand new and CPU's should run fine on stock coolers.

If you psu exploded or blew up then its very possible that you have done some motherboard damage, possibly ruined the cpu temp sensor. However, I would definately think there is some mobo damage. You may want to rma for a new one.

What power supply did you have? Actually, seeing that you have a 775 motherboard and cpu, those are outdated unfortunately. You would need to build a new system.

Do you have any type of warranty with the system you bought?

Probabaly just ddr3 memory and different processor. And depending on what type of license you have for windows 7, you may have to get a new copy. Do you have the full retail version or OEM?

If you want the cheapest possible, go for this:
Total: $164

This setup will be around the same, maybe a little stronger, than your previous E8400 setup on the CPU side, a lot stronger on the RAM side.

If you have a little more money to spend, you could look at something like this:
Total: $215

Add CoolerMaster Hyper TX3: $10-15 to either of the setups for extra quiet and effecient cooling.
