Check inside that the CPU fan is spinning. If it has stopped then check out the reason and maybe replace it with a new one. Also check your fan in the case is working if one is fitted. Replace the heatsink compound between the cpu and heatsink if you have the fan issue as it could well have been baked hard and as such will not transfer the heat to the heatsink. Primarily also check that the power to the fan is there. You will need a multimeter to check the voltage. It could easily have come disconnected (simple fix re-connect).
