Check any attached boards, in particular the vid card. I have had the
exact same problem, booted in Safe but would not boot normally, turned
out to be a bad vid card. The overheat could be the vid card toasting,
frying capacitors, not the mobo.

I hope someone can help me with a Windoze machine -- it's my brother's
HP, about 6 years old or so. Put another used (supposedly working)
board in because the original was suffering from overheat shudowns in
spite of cleaning the heat sink, replacing the fan, and using Arctic
Sliver thermal paste.
My problem is that although it booted up, when I tried to re-activate
Windows it reboots instead. Eventually it won't reboot. It did load
new drivers for all the "new" hardware (new MB), and will run just
fine in safe mode, but crashes in a variety of ways when I attempt to
start windows normally.
I have not replaced the power supply (will try that tomorrow), but get
an occasional blue screen of death telling me that (DUH) I have a
device driver problem. Of course I do, I can't load them after
repairing the installation because it won't start!.
Any advice (beside buy a Mac, which is what I would do)?
Thanks!
ps. I hate windoze.
