I'm having the same problem. After a recent Windows Update, Core Temp crashes and gives me a similar error message, "CPU temperature and system information utility has stopped working" and then "Windows is checking for a solution to the problem..." No other message appears.
I am running a home-built PC with the following hardware:
Operating System
MS Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit SP1
CPU
Intel Core i5 2500K @ 3.30GHz
RAM
8.00 GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 798MHz (9-9-9-27)
Motherboard
MSI Z68MA-ED55 (MS-7676) (SOCKET 0)
Below are my Error and Information logs from Event Viewer.

Core Temp had been solid up until recently. Please let me know if I can be of any further help.
