I'm getting very worried about my computer.

Firstly, my computer has been turning off after about 1.5 hours of use on it.
When I feel the back of the tower, it is very hot. The fan seems to be working fine. I can feel (warm) air coming out.

If I try and turn the computer back on, it will turn off after about 1 minute. Probely because, if the computer was to stay on, it will blow up and start a fire.

I decided to check the temperature of the computer, by going to PC Health at startup.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here's the status of the computer when I havn't used it all day:

System Temperature: 35 ºC
CPU Temperature: 40 ºC
CPU Fan Speed: 3750 RPM
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here's the status of the computer when it's been on for 1.5 hours.

System Temperature: 61 ºC
CPU Temperature: 72 ºC
CPU Fan Speed: 4115 RPM
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I noticed, when I first turned the computer on, the CPU Temperature was 40 ºC, but in about 2 minutes was at 50 ºC.

I can't understand why this is happening. I havn't fiddled around with it or anything; it just started happening a few days ago.

If you've any more questions, i'll be happy to answer them.

All help is greatly appreciated.
