Hi Roman,
I read ur prob. It could be due to the AMD CPU but try this before suspecting the CPU.
Remove the Cooling Fan and the Heat Sink and see if sufficient Thermal Paste is properly applied on the contacting surface between the CPU and the HeatSink. If a Thermal Sheet is present in between the CPU and the HeatSink then the thermal paste is not needed.
So, just see if this helps coz one of my friend had similar problem and the reason was the above.
