My VCore usually runs at about 1.88, which i was told is high. Tonight it's up to 1.99, is my processor dying? The computer usually runs at about 30 to 35 celsius, and it's been about 40 to 45 lately. Should i be concerned?

Assuming that you've set the VCore to the rated VCore for the processor in use, and it's still varying between 1.88-1.99 then that is an issue with the motherboard voltage regulators, not the processor.
Slight variances during operation are normal, but not a variance that large... and if it's constantly fluctuating between the two extremely it could potentially damage the processor.

the vcore is set to be at 1.75

usually it's at 1.88, and yesterday it went up to 1.99 and stayed there. My 12v is usually at 12.66 too, 3.3v is at 3.49, 2.5v is at 0.43, and 5v stays at about 5.03

do you think that possibly my motherboard is going bad? I think my voltages have always been like that though. A while back i had a problem where my computer wouldn't boot past the XP login screen, it would just restart. could this have been because of the weird voltages? thanks for the reply
