goto start, programs, accessories, system tools, then click System restore, think to wen the problem started, make sure restore comp from earlier time is checked, click next select the date b4 the prob started then continue and follow the instructions.

You need to get some temperature readings TBH. Is the case hot to touch, are the fans working normally? How hot is the air coming from the PSU fan? Is your hard drive getting excessively hot? Whats your system spec?
