I use silver, never had a problem with it. Try to blow out your computer with compressed air can or air compressor, perhaps it's just dusty inside. May want to make sure that it's your cpu that's overheating, can download a monitor program like pcu wizard, checks psu and cpu fan. May just be as simple as replacing a fan, probably wouldn't hurt to go to a pc store to pick up a $2.50 thing of thermal paste, clean off your cpu/heatsink with rubbing alcohol and apply some on.

AMD Sempron, 1.9 ghz 1.5 gig ram, it boots from an ide hdd !! agp gfx card
