Constant crashes

I tried lm_sensors and this is the result:
adm1021-i2c-0-4e
Adapter: SMBus PIIX4 adapter at 4070
Algorithm: Non-I2C SMBus adapter
Board:       +53°C  (min =  +20°C, max =  +60°C)
CPU:         +56°C  (min =  +20°C, max =  +60°C)
die_code:    5

I'm not overclocking the cpu or nothing like that.
