Can you guys help me. I have an Athlon XP 2400+ computer running at 95 degrees Celsius or 203 degrees Fahrenheit. Can someone send in their Athlon Xp temperature please? I think mine is overheating i have cleaned the fan but to no avail.
Thanks

That's too HOT; much hotter than my XP 2600+ when I was overclocking and overvolting it. You are about to toast it. Maximum case temp allowed for XP 2400+ is just 85°C.
Heatsink may not be properly seated and/or does not have thermal paste. Reseat it properly. Be sure to clean the base and apply a thin film of thermal paste.
This might help:

95 degrees Celsius is certainly a bit worrying.
You should maybe clean out your CPU of dust by using a special for computers vacuum cleaner. If you need one, buy a cooling fan or install a cooling system for your computer. And of course, don't keep your PC on for too long!

yep that is hot... They run hot but around 150 f -- is too hot -- replace the "goop" under the heat sink and make sure ALL the fans are working

Seems high.if there is no dust problems, it might be time for some Thermal Paste and reseat the CPU.
