Since your temp reading is 85 when first booted, you probably have a semi-calibrated temperature reading. 123 to 166 F is not too extreme a temperature, but I would still confirm that the side fan in the 9600 is running and that you have a minimum of dust in the computer. (Dust acts like an insulator, and can also conduct electricity if the humidity is up.)
You don't mention it, but what version of the OS are you using and which versions of IE and Opera. I know older versions of IE were not stable, but the latest build is much better. Also, if you ran older versions of IE, it dumped a lot of extensions into your system that are no longer needed, and led to overall system instability. I've been through an OS upgrade since then, and don't remember the titles of them, but they started with "MS..." or "Microsoft...". >I just upgraded a 9600 to the above, and I'm concerned about the >processor temperature shown by the Cache Profiler.
