Stock CPU overheating to 90 in 4 minutes

   Hey Guys,
I am using default settings in the BIOS with it running at 3.5GHz to avoid the need for any extra fans.

However I've noticed that the temperature for the CPU spikes within 4 minutes of first turning on the PC.
The temperature for the CPU looks to be spiking all the way up to 88/90 degress. I mean, Wow! :(
It's a cold day today and there is no way it could be overheating so quickly.
This causes the Computer to do an emergency shut down.

After the computer shuts down I touch the CPU cooler and the radiator and both are cool to touch.
This happens intermittently and after a few reboots the system starts running normally without any issues.
The temperature then remains stable at "30 or 40" and no problems re-occur.

I have been thinking it could be something to do with the water pump or a faulty temperature sensor.
The temperature spikes both when inside the UEFI BIOS or the Windows 10 Interface.

Picture Below:
