sony vaio VGN-NS10L randomly freezes constantly ??!!

so heres my problem i have the vaio NS10L and every time i try to use it it freezes at start up or if it loads in it will just freeze before i can do anything, iv tryed changing the RAM & HDD that many times iv lost count and looked up the default setting for the dip switch which i never found any help (dip switch was set to 1-ON 2-OFF 3-ON 4-OFF) i have not got time to do anything on the laptop, I try installing new OS and it gets to 12% and freezes, this is my last stop for seeking any help with it, All i can think of now is a wierd virus somehow? can any one help me?

I think i have sourced the problem, GRAPHICS chip gets quite hot compared to the proccessors heatsink so i tried facing a cold air fan at the chip and it managed to stay on long enough for me to install the OS, is there any way to stop it overheating ?
