Hi, I just build a new PC from scratch and have noticed my music skipping, and the machine freezing. I reset the machine and went into the bios where it said the CPU was running at 95 C/ 203 F, which makes me extremely worried.

I spread artic silver the the CPU and heatsink contact point and I am using the stock fan. My CPU is a i5 3750 k, my PSU is a corsair 500 w, my GPU is a GTX 560 2gb by Zotac, and my MoBo is Gigabyte Z77-DS3H.

What's going on?! I can't afford any new parts and I'm worried I did something wrong!
