Actually i checked in EFI BIOS in Asus it showed 65 C but when i downloaded Real temp and checked it showed only 45 C and Also i installed Asus windows utility in that also it shows CPU temp as 45 C.. So confused..

just run Coretemp/CPUID HWMonitor & run a heavy app, like a game. this will give a clear idea if your system is overheating.
and post a screenshot of coretemp/HWmonitor here.

@viswanathan: are you from chennai? If so, I am aware that it is quite hot in chennai. around 42 outside. So i assume your room temps should be about 32 degrees c. But still i feel your cpu temps are on the higher side. even with the stock cooler sandy shouldn run so hot. Did you fix your stock cooler properly? Because id dont think age of empires stresses the cpu to full 100%.
I am from visakhapatnam which is also a coastal place and the climate is very much similar to chennai. I keep visiting chennai very often and I find that the climate of chennai and vizag is almost the same..
I am having a i7 2600k cpu with a cooler master hyper n620 cooler( around 2.9k). My room temp is also around 30-32 degrees now.My cpu idles at around 41-42 degrees. With AC on the temps reduce to 36 degrees idle. Even with prime95 running(which stresses the cpu to full 100%) my cpu peaked only at 68 degrees(without ac running) with the hyper n620. with gaming and heavy dx11 benchmark like unigine heaven and game like crysis 2(which is much more stressing than aoe) my cpu never crossed 58 degrees.
Dude I guess the random shut down is also because of this over heating. Dude either fix your cpu cooler properly or as you are asking i would suggest you some coolers for around 2k.
1. Cooler master hyper 212+ -2.2k
2. cooler master hyper n520 -2.5k
3. cooler master hyper n620 -2.9k
PLEASE POST YOUR COMPUTERS PICS...

You motherboard is double posting. Just reset the CMOS once. Remove the PSU cable from the back, press the chassis power button 2-3 times. Remove the button cell for a minute and put it back. Fire it up.

@ msaiashwin Thanks and yeah i am from chennai .. Thanks for the cooler suggestions
@ asingh Thanks and sorry for asking more questions...
How to reset CMOS?.. You mean that coin like battery which is in the motherboard? do i have to remove that to clear CMOS or is there any setting in BIOS to clear CMOS??... Do i have to move the jumper pins???...
Thanks in advance..
@ mukherjee thanks a lot man..

@ mukherjee thanks a lot man..
U are welcome.
U can reset CMOS by shorting the CMOS CLEAR jumper(refer to ur mobo manual for this)....

My Mobo manual says something about Clear RTC RAM ( 3-pin CLRTC ) and in order to clear that i gotto move the jumper cap from 1-2 to pins 2-3 and then after 10 seconds move that again to 1-2.. is this how i clear CMOS?...
SO
1) i turn off the comp and unplug the power cord
2) move the jumper cap and after 10 sec move it back again
3) remove the battery and press the chassis power button 2-3 times and after 1 min place it again
4) then put back the power cord and turn on the comp again..
Is the above procedure correct?...
Thanks in advance..

@ asingh and mukherjee Thanks a lot guys.. 
Thank u very much... It solved my prob guys. 
wat i did was
1) Restarted the system and selected the default settings in bios
2) turned off the system and unplugged the power cord
3) Pressed the power button in chassis 2-3 times
4) removed the battery and waited for 5 mins
5) put the battery in and plugged in the power cord
6) Turned on the system and Voila! No more double booting prob
7) Actually changed a setting in BIOS as per the instruction in hard forum to avoid double splashing screen of BIOS which mukherjee posted.. Actually i didnt move the jumper cap at all and i am glad it worked without moving it! Thank you so much man..
Thank you sooooooo much guys... I was really worried.. Thank you sooo much for helping me out
I am planning to buy a cpu cooler for my system and my budget is 2k - 2.5k .. Pls suggest me some good coolers for cpu..
Thanks in advance..
