Your motherboard must support cpu temperature.  Most Athlon boards do that 
and also have a BIOS function to check temperature.  You can look there for 
the temperature.

You say you have not overclocked your CPU and it is already the second CPU 
which has that problem. I suspect that it is not your CPU but most likely a 
memory module. Try switching your memory modules.
