Well I mangled the PC with setting changes and viruses (changes to make it work not matter what don't ask me how I did it I can't remember...) Anyway it just got to 70 and speedfan was showing little fire icons next to it plus it was up that high by just turning it on... And yeah the fan on the heatsink thing or whatever it's called is making odd noises and what not... On another note it seems my computer is so old that none of the sites I go to even mention it like it never existed and the ones that do don't sell it :/ it's only odd b/c other older PC's are being sold 
Anyway I don't have a lot of money if I did I would buy myself a nice PC and be done with it but I wanna give this little one to my Bro and make that other one work so I can use it properly...

One question, may I add... What EXACTLY is getting that hot? CPU? Chipset? HDD? It makes a difference what's broken. If it's the CPU, yea, thats a little high, but not insane, most comps run anywhere between 40C and their shutoff. If it's the chipset, well, no wonder the thing turned off on you! And if it's the HDD, suffice it to say, NOT GOOD!
But... if you could prtsc the CPUz programme while running, that would help us tell you what you need to be looking at.
Also, did you ever own one of those old grey cartridge nintendos? If you did, then you'll know how to get the dust out.
