OK so you've cleaned everything. What exactly is happening? I gather your system crashes after a short time. What about if you just boot up into bios or with a bootfloppy? Does it crash after a while? How long is a while?

Do you have any temp monitoring software? When it crashes boot into bios and check system health. Temps may be reported there
