You might be able to find the temperatures in the bios. If not, download and install a free motherboard monitoring program like 'Speedfan'.

I just checked my CPU and board temp
at idle
CPU 129f, 54c
board 95f, 35c
I don't kno if that's to high for an idle temp

The 54C for the CPU is a bit high. It's usually about 10C higher then the motherboard temperature. Which might also be just a tad high, depending upon the ambient temperature. A temperature in the low 40s is the most common for the CPU. A less than perfect application of the heatsink thermal compound might be the reason it's a little high.

I just brought a bigger fan and thermal compound
yesterday I will install the fan today and let you
kno the results later on

Ok after the install of new fan and applying
the thermal compund the temp went down
but is still high
CPU 122f 50c
board still the same

50 c for a cpu is fine
54c toostartup taskmanager while you are doing your things (that are causing the problems) and look at the cpu load, memory load etc.

Tried to run unreal tournment 3 and it
locked up and liked at my temp for my CPU
and the highest reading was 58c

I'm starting to think it's my hard drive now
I still can surf the Internet but now it
locks up when I play music but not doing nothing else
then sometimes when it gets to the windows vista logo
it will lock up at times as well
