You included a lot of details, but missed some crucial ones. First,
did it ever work? If so, what you probably have are fans/heat sinks
that are clogged with dust. Give the system a good hosing with
compressed air and see if that helps.
You also failed to mention whether or not the fans come on, and
whether or not they increase in speed when it gets hotter.
hth,
