Yes, very. Check your CPU heatsink is correctly installed with thermal grease.

Throw an egg on top of your proc - see if it will cook. ;)

Best way to cook an egg IMO.

Looks like more than just heatsink faults there.. I regularly run machines for 5-10 minutes with no heatsinks to check the thermal cutouts.

Are the core volts correct?

Yea, could be a software problem or a hardware problem as well. What's the rest of your system running like? How's your memory usage? I use to have a laptop with a 64-bit AMD Athlon and while running spy-bot, it would cause the laptop to shutdown. This was due to all the stress that was being put on the cpu - it was over heating. Some programs you could be running might be CPU intensive.

Touch the heatsink when it's on. Is it burning hot?
What's your processor and what heatsink do you have?

No, it won't electrify you, unless for some odd reason there is electricity going through the heatsink...

Don't worry, nothing will happen. Just take caution as it may be hot, I doubt it though.

PCs use 12V which is harmless. CPUs use an even lower voltage, typically less than 1.5. On top of that, CPUs don't have 'exposed' electricity anyway, there is no voltage applied to the heatsink or the CPU when the PC is turned on.
