Solve : CPU is over heating.?

1.	Solve : CPU is over heating.?
Answer» Sometimes when I turn on my desktop the CPU fan goes at very high speed and the CPU temp is 106. I have CHECKED and there is no dust. I do not think it is the heatsink as it does not happen all the time. It is a Medion 8341 running Windows 7. Has anyone any ideas as to what may be the cause. The computer is not used for intensive work/games and anyway this happens at start up before such work could be startedhttp://superuser.com/questions/55632/cpu-temperature-sensor-wrong I read this anecdote from another person experiencing extremely high temperatures.

Has anyone any ideas as to what may be the cause. Is it possible to check your temps from your BIOS? It could very well be the heatsink not making firm contact with the CPU-when the temps go insanely high, put your finger on the heatsink-is it cold? Could you try with another heatsink and fan just to make sure? Try reapplying your thermal paste; dried-up thermal paste will not conduct heat effectively.
