I have a W520 constantly freezing. I did a memtest and found errors with some ram. After replacing the symptoms remain. Next I ran temperature CPU monitoring test and attached is a screen shot of the temperatures.

Here is an image of the CPU temperatures :

The motherboard area and CPU have zero dust and the CPU fan is running.
What do you think might be the cause of this daily freezing?
I am using Linux.

Thanks in advance.
 
Given the age of the system, it is possible that some component of the motherboard itself is degraded/failing.

Have you visually inspected the motherboard for any signs of damage?

I have not looked at the motherboard for any damage. At this rate I might just replace the motherboard and CPU.
