36 I wouldn't trust these numbers. You probably need a different/correct driver
37 in your kernel to measure your CPU and MoBo chipset readings and/or a later
38 BIOS firmware.
39
40 Whenever I had such problems they were down to bad memory (some PCs are rather
41 particular in only accepting matching memory modules) and also down to a sick
42 power supply.
43
44 Memetest86+ should tell you after some hours if something is amiss.
45
46 The power supply problem will require opening it up and checking for domed
47 capacitors. A few cents later and with a soldering iron in hand you should be
48 able to fix any cheap capacitor induced failure.
49
50 Of course if the machine is hundreds of miles away, attending to it is more of
51 a problem.
