We have the same CPU, ive just got the i7 990X but they are both the same except 990X has higher clock. 85°C is high. had once temperatus like that too got BSOD had to buy new cooler. i would buy a new Cooler if id be you. Max temp for i7 990X/980X is 72°C acording to Intel. but it could be your power suppli too. Try to jump your power supply, http://www.ocztechnologyforum.com/forum/showthread.php?34941-Guide-to-testing-problematic-power-supplies

He shouldn't need to clear his CMOS settings if he hasn't overclocked his CPU. The CMOS would make absolute no difference unless he's overclocked.

Well, if you have your SATA mode changed, you will no longer be able to boot into windows, and this can happen by accident some times. My friend had his computer down for a week because this happened.

This is my BIOS:

 

You can clear your CMOS by holding the clr CMOS button located on the back I/O when the computer is off. You could also use Load Setup Defaults option to reset your settings.

Check if your BIOS is up-to-date or obsolete. I always update my BIOS ROM when the latest Beta becomes a public release, as it can fix some BIOS ROM issues and CPU support etc.

EDIT: didn't see your post above. :P
