Overheating it seems is your problem, i think.. Try adding a fan .. And check if your power supply is adequate..

When was the last time the thermalpaste was changed? Fan doesnt always cool down processor, thermal paste withstand major part of it. But in old processors thermal paste eventually dies. You get thermal paste ranging from 50 bucks to as expensive as Rs. 300. The so called engineers are sometimes morons! It helps to be in many tech forums and learning things to do on your own via trial and error. Tell the guy to change the thermal paste and see after 24 hours of use if the temperature have dropped or not.
