Normal CPU temperature?

My pc has started experiencing quite frequent crashes nowadays. On poking around I found that my CPU's temperature was about 60°c while idle.(it used to be about 40°c about 1-2 years earlier). Is this temperature normal and can this be in any way causing these crashes?

it's better to monitor the temperature during loading and see what the temperature when the crashes happen is. idle temps don't say much.

If it's a few years old it might be worth it to repaste like @TofuHaroto said.

If someone did not use reason to reach their conclusion in the first place, you cannot use reason to convince them otherwise.

The temperature in Asia and middle east are pretty high nowdays, your room temperature might be the problem.

But nothing stops you to renew your Thermal paste.

I'm assuming in the past 2 years you haven't moved your pc into another (hotter) location? If so, a good cleaning and a fresh apply of thermal paste would be good.  Also, monitor temperatures while under heavy load, gaming, etc..

The pc has been in the same location from past 8 years😂. I stress tested the CPU, the temps were somewhere around the 90's. It crashed after reaching somewhere about 97°c.

I stress tested the CPU (with Prime 95). The temps went in the 90ish range(92-93). It crashed after the temps reached somewhere about 96-97°c

 

P.S- I have a stock cooler, which at the time of crash was running at about 2500rpm(source-HWMonitor by CPUID)

re-mount the cooler with fresh paste. clean the fans and everything. it crashes because of the temps.
