So far it still sounds like a CPU overheating problem.
You can reduce the CPU speed to avoid overheating. I forget the exact
command but I will post again when i find out.
Also, try placing an electric fan near the vents so cool air will be
blown in. It could also be that there is a lot of dust blocking the
vents?
In the meantime, try to get a minimal debian install up and running.
This usually takes less than 15 minutes. In that time frame the CPU
will probably not overheat.
