im using p4 3.06 ghz with nvidia 610i mobo
my processor temerature is 65c for idle and 75-85 during heavy use
and i think after 80c-85c pc turns off due to overheating
i think this problem is bcoz of my heatsink is not properly mounted coz its 1 latch out of 4 is broken

Don't ignore Overheating problem. Get the Intel Heatsink itself. 65-75 C is normal for any processor I guess.
