John, I wasn't able to reseat the processor/heatsink yet. I did install iStat Pro however it shows only temperatures on hard drive so that's not too much help. Are there any processor temperatures anywhere on this machine?

There should be a dedicated fan for processor module heat sink cooling. Down load IstatPro to check operating temperatures.
