I have a 3.2Ghz CPU, 2GB RAM, Asus P5B mobo...

4 days ago I heard a huge POP sound, didn't know what it was but since then my computer was always shutting off by itself... installed some monitoring tools, and learned that everything was overheating... (Hard Disks, CPU)

after some deliberation, the culprit was my PSU, now that I changed it the hard disks are nominal, but my CPU keeps going from 61-74 degrees Celsius which I believe is nowhere normal...

I replaced my fan, and I still get the same result...

so my question going forward is, do I have a faulty motherboard or CPU? how can i diagnose further to find the problem once and for all?

thanks
