my first thought is a cpu fan/heatsync full of dust ,have you checked this yet

I presume that is 96c, not 96f. 96f is not a problem. Under high load, my CPU core temps may get to 50c (Intel 3GHz Penryn E5450 processors). I've had more issues with memory temperatures, where they actually would overheat to the extent that the system (Enterprise Linux) would drop one out of use. By re-arranging the SIMM positions, I was able to get the heat down to manageable levels without replacing the stick.
