Have you tried booting into Safe Mode by tapping the F8 key during boot up and running some system tools?

This almost sounds like a heat related problem in that it will seemingly boot up when it's cool and fail when it's warm. Have you tried cleaning the CPU cooler? Sometimes a can of compressed air can go a long way toward fixing problems of this kind.
Next time you get it running, download Speed Fan (Click on the SpeedFan 4.27 link in the second paragraph), install it, and run it to monitor voltages and temperatures.
Check the temperature readings right after startup and after it has run for a while...post them here for me.

You shouldn't need to set up anything...some motherboards just don't support this kind of monitoring. Let's see if the cleaning resolves the problem.

Heat Issue:
Did you use thermal paste between the CPU and the cooler? You'll need to do that to get good thermal transfer from the CPU to the cooler. Arctic Silver or Arctic Aluminum are both very good products and should be available at most computer repair shops.when I undid the the heat sink

Video Issue:
Let's look at a couple of things...don't change anything, though...we don't want to leave you without a display until we get this sorted out.
Right click on the desktop and choose "Properties" then click on the "Settings" tab. Click on the "Advanced" button and then click the "Adapter" tab. What video adapter is listed?
Go to Device Manager by right clicking on "My Computer", selecting "Properties", click on the "Hardware" tab, and click the "Device Manager" button. Expand (click +) "Display Adapters"...what is listed here. Scroll down and expand "System Devices"...is your onboard video listed here?

Right click on the desktop and choose "Properties" then click on the "Settings" tab. Click on the "Advanced" button and then click the "Adapter" tab. In the "Adapter Type" box, click the "Properties" button. At the bottom of the window, in the drop down menu, select "Do not use this device (disable). Click "Ok"...Close all other windows that are sill open related to this setting by confirming the change (Apply or Ok).
Open Device Manager, expand "Display Adapters", double click on the new Video Card, and select "Use this device (enable)" from the drop down menu, and click "Ok". Close Device Manager and Reboot.
Let me know if these settings remain set or if the onboard re-enables itself on boot...

Can you go into the BIOS setup on reboot (usually by tapping the F1 or Delete key...it will tell you what key to press at the bottom of the first screen..."Press [key] to enter setup") and see if you can disable the onboard video from there? You'll have to hunt around a bit to find the setting (if it is there) and because all versions of BIOS are a little different, I can't point you right to it. Instructions for navigating in BIOS should be on the right or on the bottom of the BIOS screen...be sure to save any settings you make when you exit (usually by pressing F10).
Let me know what you find...
