When the CPU overheats then it will shut down (i.e. thermal overload) and won't boot up again until it has cooled down. If this is the problem is not fixed then the CPU will eventually fail.
A faulty fan causes the problem or the fan and heat sink assembly are clogged with dust.
Check the CPU fan to see if it spins freely, if not replace the fan.
If the fan and heat sink is clogged with dust the remove the dust and make sure the vents are clear and dust free. Use a small brush and can of compressed air to do this.

Ok no problem I can help you there. First you want Intel or AMD. I would take Intel. Then you want Core Duo or Core 2 Duo, I'd take Intel Core 2 Duo, then you need to find out the Frontside Bus Speed of your motherboard, it has to match the CPU. So let's say its 1,066MHz. And you want something faster than 1.8 so go with 2.4GHz. So now we looking for a Intel Core 2 Duo, 2.4GHz, 1066MHz bus speed with stock cooler. So then go to www.intel.com, in their search box type "Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4Ghz" and it will bring up all the CPU's and their prices..if you have any questions let me know. Pls rate this solution.

all intel boards support core 2 duo cpu´s
