Computer got real hot~

One of my computer ran real hot last night. It is a AMD Duron process. When it cools off I was able to turn it on, and as soon as the window came one it turn off again.
How can the problem resolved? Do I have to buy a whole motherboard? A friend of mine told it can be the little that is on top of cpu, need to be replaced. Can someone please help! Thank you in advance.

I sent him an PM on that also. That what thought, I did not think I need a case just because a fan is running hot. So, Oma12; what about the motherboard can that be replace or it is just a fan that I need. I will love fix sometime next week. Because the Computer is for my daughter and I need to fix the fan so she can start with her school curricullum. I appreciate your input. Thanks so very much!

As long as the Processor hasnt burned out, and its just the fan is acting up, all you need is a new fan, shouldnt be too dear. Just dont keep the comp running or it will melt the Processor.

I agree and maybe you can add a case fan tohelp the heat

Thanks for the help and information'. I took the fan from the processor, and as soon as I pulled it out, I realize it was durty and had a lot of dust. What I did, I cleaned it out and place the fan right back before you know it. I turn the PC on and <<<Boom>>>!!!!!!!!, it works. I realize on thing. The location in which the PC was, the air was not circulating right. I move the PC location. It has been since last week and it still running. I am going to monitor for one more week.

Is there a special vacuum to dust out computers? Can someone please help. Again thank for the information I have receive from all of you.

oh i have this like blower thing that blows all the dust out....make sure u do it outside tho...........and dont be surprised if it happens again....even though fans are a simple thing, AMD cant seem to get them right...i replace mine like every month

Without trying to step on Robbs toes, I would bet he recommended a case for two reasons. One, is the newer cases are more well ventilated (ie: larger/more fan(s), vents) and two, for an upgraded power supply. Most PCs come with a woefully inadequate power supply and if you have added on any new equipment (DVD/cd burner etc.) you have likely over-maxed the power supply adding to your heating load. Just my $.02.
