Pentium 4 Overheat

Pentium 4 Overheat I have a machine with a Pentium 4 CPU in it that I run as a server. I've used it for a long time with no issues. Recently it has been unable to run for more than about 3/4 minutes from a cold-boot before locking up. My syslog shows that my CPU is overheating badly.

"When you removed the heatsink, did you thoroughly remove all remnants of the old thermal paste and then apply fresh paste?

Is the fan spinning properly? Many Pentium 4 processors (especially later Northwood and Prescott models) depend heavily on proper cooling."
