Thanks to everyone's suggestions.

I finally had some cycles to open the laptop and cleanup up the
old dried up grease off the cpu and the heat sink and applied
the arctic silver. I smeared it in thin sheet on both the cpu and the
heat sink's contact surface.

I buttoned the thing back up and installed fc20 from DVD iso.
All went well during the install.
I booted and opened the file browser to browse the boot drive. No problems.
I immediately opened the file browser again to seperately browse another 
drive
and it crashed instantly after the gui of the 2nd file browser came up.

I uploaded the screen image of crash message to
https://www.sendspace.com/file/exy97h

I noticed that during the installation of fc20, the air coming
out of the exhaust vent was almost scalding if I kept my finger there
for about a minute or so. By scalding, I mean if I had touched
a metal surface of that temperature for say 30 seconds, I would
have felt some pain.

Also, I noticed that the cooling fan remained at normal operating
speed, instead of spinning faster, as I usually hear it spin fast for
about a few seconds when I power it on.

So, I am not sure whether the problem is the fan or the cpu.

P.S: I also ran the memtest 86 full tests of 1 pass.
I installed fc20 after it had reached somewhere near the middle
of pass 2. It had detected no errors. 10 hours had passed since
I had started the memtest86.
I am not sure if each pass would run different tests. Perhaps
someone can expand on that.
