CPU reaches temps of 95°C, other times it's perfectly fine

As stated in the title, my CPU will reach high temperatures, 80-95°C. Both CAM and Windows warn me of this.

Though after rebooting the computer once or twice, the CPU temp will remain at a nice 36°C. 

Games, any software etc. are not the cause of the high temps. I'll only be on YouTube or be idling on the home screen, and my CPU will still freak out.

 

I've had the thermal paste replaced, cleaned the fans and cooler, readjusted parts and wires, I'm not sure what else to do. I don't see anything physically wrong. I have also updated Bios to the latest format. 

My only thought is maybe I need to replace the cooler? Either that or it's a motherboard issue. 

Please keep in mind I am not super familiar with PCs and the like, so try to be a bit more specific and avoid abbreviations and shortened terms. Thank you in advance. 👽

I would try Malwarebytes and see if there's any infections.
