I Have an laptop that i have just dug out after a couple of years (Sharp Actius PC MC24) The CPU gets hotter and hotter till it shuts down there is no dust in it and the fan is spinning fine, was wondering if the bios could be putting to much power to it. can't see any voltages in bios No options for changing anything other than boot priority. any sugestions. thanks

Strip down, re-apply thermal paste and ensure the HSF assembly is seated properly? Would be very unlikely that the voltage would have changed.
