AMD state that the highest operating temerature (on die) is 90 C. However,
the cpu temp measurement you have recorded will be a bios reading? -up to
30C lower than on die readings. Your on die temp may therefore exceed 100C!
An average stable system seems to run the chip at around 40-50 deg C (bios
reading). Thus your system is running at least 20deg C above average. I
assume therefore that this is indeed the cause of sporadic problems. Better
case ventilation is the answer, tidy wires, install at least one internal
fan etc...
Hope this helps.
