That fast? Sounds like your CPU heatsink might have came loose. Check to make sure all 4 secure points of the heatsink are still securely fastened to your motherboard. If they are all fastened, try removing the heatsink and clean off the old thermal paste, and apply new thermal paste. Then reseat the heatsink and see if that helps.

It would be really odd if the thermal paste is the problem though. Your computer isn't that old.
