Hi
Check you're CPU temperature in you're BIOS. I have a strong feeling thats its you're CPU temperature thats too high. A normal temp in BIOS is accepted if its below 60, I recommend below 65 degrees. Alternatively blow out you're pc with can air to remove all dust and apply thermal grease on you're CPU.
