Is the cpu cooler a size recommended for that processor?
Don't assume that the cooler in an AMD retail pack is completely adequate.
Have you tried a good quality thermal paste like arctic silver?
Can you leave the case open and direct a fan into the case to see if the
problem persists?
Is processor voltage set properly, does motherboard state compatibility with
the processor?
And the most obvious, is the system overclocked in any way?
