if you are positive it's overheat, this is my opinion also, as a former dell-certified repairman hp and ibm and progressively harder to break down, and I wouldn't tear down a mac on a bet, though.

But to be really positive its overheat, you need physical evidence like noisy fans or no fan noise at all and really hot air coming out sluggishly. Otherwise, you should eliminate other causes like malware and bitrot and app overload and corrupt registry entries by reinstalling if you possibly can.

It's usually cheap and theraputic to max out the RAM, which relives stree on the computer's HD and cooling systems, so it can improve things under any of the above conditions. If not, save it to install on the replacement PC.
