CPU temperature increasing rapidly!

Solution
Dust clean it. If its not helping, then you must have taken out the heatsink from the cpu. If you did, you have to buy new thermal paste to replace the old thermal paste. Just buy a cheap one ($5) from reputable brand such as cooler master or deepcool will make a big difference than current situation. Another way is just buy a new cheap cpu heatsink that already include thermal paste (as cheas as $5).

What are the PC specs? Like CPU, memory. What computer case do you have? When did you dust clean it the previous time?

Thermal Paste should do the trick. Might wanna change your stock cooler for an aftermarket coolers. Also monitor your apps in the task manager. Some apps might be eating a lot of CPU during startup.
