Poor cooling. Are you using an Intel Prescott core? They are known to be hot enough to boil water. Try using thermal grease/paste, and adding case fans. Also, look into getting a controllable heatsink fan.

You can download ccleaner for free here: http://bit.ly/1Bk5V5C
First open CCleaner
Go to the Cleaner tab and you will be confronted by a very confusing lineup of checkboxes.
To make this brief, below is my recommended setup:
Under internet explorer check temporary internet files, cookies, and last download location. Most users don't really need this stuff. keep history and bookmarks unchecked, history is a maybe, but you don't want to lose bookmarked sites. You can normally leave Windows Explorer, System, and Advanced alone.
Run CCleaner and it will start deleting files.
afterward it will present you with a list of the files deleted, you really don't need to go through it as it will be several pages long.
The registry cleaner is recommended for slightly more advanced users. Use it after uninstalling programs as they will often leave behind incorrect registry entries.
If you decide to run Registry cleaner then review the items detected and always back up the registry (I keep a folder aside for this)
The Tools tab lets you uninstall programs and set startup programs. Why do you need this if Windows has all of these features? Especially with Vista Home Ed. The windows defender software explorer( startup programs) doesn't pick up some entries (however software explorer is easier to use).
Using CCleaner to uninstall programs and then check for leftover registry entries takes less time.
Under Options you can determine how CCleaner cleans your files. I leave this alone.

Bad air flow, a backwards or broken fan, an ineffective or no heat sink, no cooling paste on the chip itself, overclocking your computer...
There are a lot of things. Most of the time it is caused by dust build-up on your fans or heat sink.

The fan not working properly or the computer being left on 24/7.

1) CPU fan has died
2) Fins on CPU heat sink are clogged with dust
3) Heat sink/fan not properly seated on CPU
4) Poor/No air circulation inside case (case fans dead)
5) Too much heat in case (overwhelm case fans)

Dust accumulation on the heat-sink. If you spray it off regularly with canned compressed air, you can keep it cool.
