I think the suspicions are confirmed and sooner or later it will be time for a new mobo, HDD, RAM, and cpu.

Thanks again!
55c Is not a dangerous temp for a CPU on full load. The danger zone for CPU's is above 70c. Some ppl don't even have it as low as 55c when not under full load. CPU temps, if truly running at 55c under load, are not the issue.
