That line is only saying that the problem might be software related, but isn't certain as no other file has been identified as the cause.

If there aren't any airflow problems (and since this doesn't happen all the time) then changing the case won't help, and buying a more powerful PSU will most likely not help either.

As it is the CPU and depending on what thermal paste you used before you could use another thermal paste to see if it does any better, but you could replace the heatsink just to be safe since most would include pre-applied thermal paste (I have heard good things about the Arctic cooling freezer 7 pro, and the current revision should work on most processors) along with upgrading any cooling fans attached to the case just to shift as much heat away from the computer as possible.
