The 7100 also commonly has overheating problems because the heat sink grease has turned to dust.  If you have not already, remove the heat sink, clean it and the CPU and reapply a small dab of fresh heat sink compound.  Do not overapply.  If the stuff runs off onto the CPU pins it can kill the CPU.  I killed a Power 120 board years ago with too much heat sink grease.  Sigh.
