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

I won't be much help...but recently my computer began overheating...the mother board specifically...and was causing shutdowns and lockups. I still have not identified why...as according to the software...everything is fine other than the overheating of the motherboard. What I did is buy a small desk fan and placed it behind my computer and this brought the temperature down but not enough to satisfy me...so I removed the case and this caused the temperature to go way down and I have been good to go ever since.
