I'm sure that Tom will explain his reasoning on the bios temp thing, but
as he's probably asleep right now, let me butt in. I suspect that the
difference between using sensors and rebooting then looking at the bios
is just timing. i.e. Using sensors you can see the temp while the cpu
is under

Memtest was a good first step. Sounds like it's now time for cpuburn.
That is likely to reveal what memtest cannot and also completely
