If you don't have important data, then I'd just reinstall Windows. A reinstallation takes maybe a couple hours. Trying to figure out what's wrong with a system takes an unknown amount of time, and may involve days of trolling tech forums, plugging and unplugging components into/out of your motherboard, and in general hating life.
One thing you can do, right now, is to clean the lint and dust out of all your fans, especially the CPU and graphics card fans. I once had a "faulty" graphics card that ran like a champ after I remembered that fans are things. Might be an easy first try.
