I have a Dell M1530 with a Mobile Intel Core2Duo T8100.

Its 3 years old and has never given me any trouble.

Today, all of a sudden it refused o boot. Most of the times it wouldn't get past the BIOS load, and occassionally it would reach Windows Boot screen.

After a while, I gave up. I tried later again, and it booted up fine.

I'm wondering if the problem is that the PCU is heating up.

The temperature's according to Core Temp right now on the processor is around 40 on idle, and 48 on max during booting up (no stress test).

Do these seem fine, or is it running hot?
 
Those are fin, max temps are 100-120c check the fan to make sure it is turning on to cool the laptop, blow the dust out of the laptops heat sink.

unless the heat sink is not connecting to the gpu the temps are very close to the same as the cpu with laptops
 
My guess would be the HDD is dying.
 
I have a Inspiron 1501 and I have experenced similar problems:
Try to remoove HDD And all other accesorys!
Test RAM for errors! :)
