I hope you guys can help. I have no idea what to do.

Last week I noticed my three month old laptop was running slow so I DLd Speccy and ran it.

Lo and behold, my CPU temperature at startup, after a night of being off is 95 degrees C. After running it for a while, the temp goes up to 125 C.

All the other temps are normal.

So I sent the laptop to the manufacturer to be repaired. It came back today with a brand new CPU and Motherboard. First thing i did was run Speccy. 99 C at start up. Yes, I had explained my reason for sending them the laptop to them.

My computer is a Lenovo Thinkpad E545

Windows 7 Professional 64-bit SP1

AMD A4/A6/A8/A10 88 °C

I'm running Overdrive. I can only find the 'Thermal Margin', which changes a lot very quickly but averages about 28 C in blue letters. Although it does drop down to about 7 C. Where can I find the temperature?
