Take the mother board out and put in a fridge for few hours.

Hi

I dont think putting the motherboard in the fridge would help you that very much, but you might have a chance by checking your cooling fans on the processor. Giving it a good clean might do you good. SOmetimes dirt gets deposited on teh tips of cooler fan which might not let the air flow to the processor properly. Giving it a clean could help, also I'd check for the thermal paste on teh processor. May be that needs changing to allow the heat from processor to tranfer to the heat sink.

Hope this ll help.
