Does anyone know what a safe operating temperature range is for a P4 1.9GHZ
Machine.
I am not trying to over-clock this computer.

Thanks

Are you having restarts and thermal shut downs? If not then its fine.

The heatsink separated from the CPU while I was cleaning the fan. I put some
CPU heatsink compound on it before replacing it, but just want to make sure
that it is not getting too hot.

Just make sure the bottom of the heat sink comes completely in contact with
the CPU die. Also, don't use a whole lot of compund on it, just a dab
basically.

I put on about the size of a grain of rice, then smeared it with a
razor-blade to cover the entire surface.
CPU is running the 53C range (wish I had looked at what it was running at
prior to my 'repair').

Generally speaking, if you can keep it below 40° C., you should be safe.
Bearing in mind, the more you do, the higher the temp will go, that is, the
temp will be higher playing a graphic intensive game than it will be, say,
surfing the net or answering email and such. All this depends on the method
of checking said temp also, some are better than others...luck...

If that's a question: yes.

See column labeled "Temperature".

"In the 53°C range" is meaningless - is that idle - or under load? If under
load, then it's fine. If idle, then you could potentially have problems - I
have an Athlon FX-55 and it idles at around 41°C and hits 55° under heavy
stress. That's normal because the FX-55 is a hot running processor. The
maximum temperature for a P4 1.9 is around 75°C - if yours is idling at 53°
then it could hit 68°+ under load and you could run into problems.
