After a thorough analysis, I believe I can help you solve your problem.

Unplug all cords from your unit.
Let it cool down. Make sure the proccessor is cool by touching it while wearing a fleece jacket. Fleece will help insulate you and protect your computer.
With the machine open already to check the temperature, take the fan off the proccessor and restart the machine. Those clunky metal things between the actual fan and the proccessor often get in the way.
If the machine begins to smoke, blow on the proccessor. Don't worry if some spit lands on the cpu while blowing on it. That sound it makes just let's you know the cpu is working at full capacity.
You should also check on the north-bridge chip by removing any metal peice that has been placed over it. These are just to protect the motherboard in shipping and are supposed to be removed, otherwise they impeed airflow.
Once your sure the cpu is working well, go buy a new fan unit for the CPU.

Alternativley, you may want to attempt the ever popular "water-cooling" method of controlling CPU temperature. This is far easier than the geeks at best buy will tell you. After all, they want your computer to break.
Fill your bathtub with water, It will need to reach the top of the tub. Make sure it's luke warm.
Run an extension cord from your room to the bathroom, and plug a 6 plug strip into the extension cord. Don't use those funny bathroom electrical plugs. Those weird switches in the middle impeed the flow of power and will prevent you from letting your system run well.
Plug your computer compnents into the extension cord and set up the monitor and keyboard at the edge of the tub.
Open the sides of your computer to make sure it can be cooled at a quicker pace.
Now strip and get in the tub. We use lukewarm water to prevent any joystick problems from occuring.
Once your computer has started up, reach over the edge of the tub and firmly grasp it with both hands.
Open your legs and firmly place the computer between them.
Welcome to the world of water-cooling!
