Hi David,
Boot from your install DVD and see if a repair via Disk Utility will
help - sounds like a kernel panic.
You may need to backup your data and try a complete reinstall - if the
problem reoccurs, you may have a hardware fault.
If your Mac is overheating and your fans are turning on a lot, I'd
take it to an Apple repairer - I've had a couple of fans go funny,
turning on full/intermittently - they've been replaced and run quiet as.

My macbookpro has overheated and will not boot up.
I keep getting an error message to press the power button to turn it
off and restart.
When it restarts the same error message appears to hold down the
power button.
Any suggestions
