Vcore seems slightly higher, if it is reported correctly. It should be 1.6 V according to [1]. Sensors is not something that you can trust without check using other methods, like BIOS health monitor. For instance reported CPU temperature is 56 C, which is low for processor that according to [1] has temperature on die 90 C with 1.6 V core. If you didn't replaced original fan and heatsink with some better than it was delivered with a box, than there is great chance that: Vcore 1.63 V + dried out termal compound + dust in and around heatsink and fan can bring CPU in range over 90 C. Though, running 2 hours is not enough to know. The CPU load is what heats it up. For instance compiling kernel from sources can heat up CPU. What I would do is to run something like GKerllM and start compilation in console window. The next hardware piece, that might be old if it is original, is hard disk. It can have transient errors, or even permanent that show up only if certain software, or data is used. If it is in /tmp, /var, or swap area than it can occur in apparently random fashion. Running fsck, badblocks, and smartctl (see man for details) should give more information.
