    Can you boot up in safe mode?
    Ignore that line. Try removing your keyboard then boot up, it does sound like a hard ware problem so you will need to go through this systematically.

    Check all fans for operation and check for restricted air flow from dust/lint buildup. Look for the CPU fan - the power supply fan - and the case fan. There may even be others so give it a good look see.
