What are the temperatures? It may not be because of overheating, maybe bad RAM or HD, or a software glitch.
First off, why is it overheating?
What are your CPU temps like?
What is the ambient room temp?
Do you have a laptop cooler?
Is there ample air space and flow at the back of the laptop?
Are you doing a lot of CPU intensive tasks?
Are you using ClickToFlash?
Let's try and pinpoint why it's overheating before you open it up.

i am using flashblock, have a laptop cooler, and ample air. Im pretty sure there is a problem with my logic board but it only acts up when the comp is too hot. I am just trying to get it last a few more months until i upgrade to a mba and was trying to see if replacing the fan would be a good solution for this.
