whatsup everyone... this isnt an overclocking question but i didnt really know where to post... heres the basics, i have a msi kt3 ulttra mobo, amd1800+ and a an ocz fan (cant remember the model number). for the past 2 or 3 so months, my idle cpu temperature is around 55C and under load it goes up to 69+C and if i leave it udner heavy load overnight, say for compressing movies, the comp freezes (not sure if it is bc of temp, i am assuming). When i run msi coolerXP the idle temp goes down to about 40C. (i remember it used to go down into the 20s) bios temp probe agrees with the msi coolerxp temp and the fan has a thermal diode which makes it spin faster when hotter.. it is at 3.5krpm, usually it was at 2800. fan heatsink is very very warm to the touch-----
what should i do here? is this an indication the cpu is going bad, or can i just grab a new fan??? any input is appreciated a bunch, thanks guys

just saw the thread on cooling probs; heres the info
this has been during the summer months; room temp is always atleast 80+ and humidity is very very high (NJ)
case is a generic MID TOWER case and it is _stuffed_--- all ribbon cables. cd burner and dvd drive. 4 hard drives

i cannot find info on the fan bc it is so old
i have two case fans. on one top is intake and a side fan which is exhaust
