On almost all modern systems, the CPU temperature is read from a single junction on the silicon of the CPU. If it makes sudden, inexplicable jumps, this implies that either the junction on the chip or the support hardware on the mobo (this is analog stuff) is misbehaving. It is possible that something is causing BIOS to handle the values incorrectly, but that would seem very unlikely to me. -- R.
