The 50/15 is fine unless it's a *very* large house. Are you saying that the downstairs rads are not very hot either, or are they ok? What are the flow and return temperatures for them? [How are you measuring pipe temperatures?].
If the boiler is running at 80 but the rad inlet is only 57, there is a massive differential along the supply pipe - which means the flow is very small. This would suggest either a blockage, or a valve which isn't open enough. Have you exposed all the pipes which feed the upstairs circuit? It is possible that there is an anti-gravity valve - which is designed to stop gravity circulation when the pump isn't running. If this is jammed almost shut, it might explain your symptoms. It would be in the vertical supply pipe goint to the upstairs circuit.
