What are the other components in the system and what model and wattage is the power supply?

For overheating, what case is all this in and do you have at least one intake and one exhaust fan?

Have you tried to reset the CMOS via the onboard jumper and/or removing the 3v lithium battery from the motherboard for at least 20 minutes?

My guess is the old and overheating PSU sent some bad juice to your board. Dirty power kills components with reckless abandon.
