I have a Presario 1500 as well and experience the same (albeit worse) problem. When it first started experiencing symptoms, I noticed because itw ould shut down during large compiles. I found that it would hit 85 degrees C and then just kick off. Blowing it out really, really well gets the temps int he sub-74 degree range and everything seems peachy. Granted, that's only getting it as low as what you are concerned about. However, I've been operating this particular computer for over a year at these temps with no problems (except for having to take the time to spray canned air in every month or so).
