Do this:

Go to System Properties - Advanced - [Startup and Recovery]Settings

Remove the checkmark from "Automatically Restart" in the System Failure section and click OK.

This will make the blue screen of death pop up when there is a fatal error instead of restarting automatically, write down the code and post it here.

Also check this Microsoft article and hotfix for dual core processors regarding gaming problems and Windows XP:

Hope this helps.

You can try buying a fan just like it and solder it yourself but it is NOT recommended working inside a power supply as it holds dangerous amount of electric power even if it is disconnected. Besides, it is just too much trouble trying to do that, especially if you're inexperienced working around power supplies.

Your power supply could also be damaged because of the overheating and wouldn't recommend using it anymore.

Save yourself all the trouble and just replace the power supply.
