40C+ is normal idle for i5s? My computers usually sit in the low 30s for idle. I'll get to mid-40s if I'm doing something on it. Granted, I run predominantly AMD, so I'm not terribly familiar with Intel's cooling properties.

Not that I'm saying the temps are the problem, but that does seem on the high side if it is idle temps.
Well, I think it's normal for the place where I live, north of Minas Gerais.
Temperatures reach 43 degrees here.
This is with the processor cooler in silent mode.
But anyway I got values ​​from other similar machines running windows and yet my value was the smallest.

Holy crap! That's hot! It's almost 110F. I tend to keep my house around 21C (70F), so my processors tend to not go above mid 30Cs when idle. However, first glance, while it seems high, doesn't seem ridiculously high. But without seeing temps under load, we can only speculate on whether the temps are the cause.

Anyway, what generation of i5 do you have? I know some of their newer series have been problematic. Have you tried running a newer kernel? Pat has a config for a 4.6 in testing/ that with a little effort could be made to work on the later 4.8 or newly released 4.9 series

I would suggest to have your motherboard checked. I had a Toshiba Qosmio laptop which had that exact problem. It turned out that it was due to the fact that an insulating device placed between the CPU and the fan was empty of insulating paste and had to be refilled.

alo,
besides the very valid checkpoints from others: dust, power supplies, processor seating, on-board battery.
Your hardware may not be what you report.
The sensor log don't seem to have data on the fan, do you have one mounted ?


Code:
bash-4.3# sensors
coretemp-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
to be compared w/ the below

Code:
bash-4.3# sensors
Adapter: ISA adapter
fan1:        3265 RPM
temp1:        +51.0°C 

coretemp-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
Core 0:      +43.0°C  (high = +95.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)
Core 2:      +46.0°C  (high = +95.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)

Sensors doesn't find my fans either. I don't think the CPU would stay at that temperature for very long with no heatsink of any kind, hehe.

I simply assumed this was a desktop, though. If a laptop, then it can be more difficult to solve hardware issues.

If you pass 15-30 minutes of that without anything bad happening, it's a very good indication your CPU and RAM are good to go.

Note that this might be dangerous if you have a serious hardware problem going on in there.

Your idle temps are normal. Do you have easy access to another PSU? I know it's a pain to replace the PSU, but that's often been the culprit with this sort of thing IME.
I did the tests with cpu stress and also tests of memories.
Results indicate that everything is within normalcy.
It took me a long time to respond because after doing all the process I described at the beginning of the post apparently a machine gave me some peace.
3 days without hanging up.

Code:
bash-4.3# uptime
 02:09:26 up 3 days,  5:17,  3 users,  load average: 0,41, 1,94, 1,43
bash-4.3#
