Before i start, and before i turn the pc on it has got the just a network/i.net light continusly on (will expalin later)Ok, well i've had it nearly 2.5-3 years and its been ok up until now, its making a sound like its going to take off then freezes, and when i try turn it back on only the ON/STANDBY light comes on (not the Network light which should) and it stays as a blank screen  , so i unplug Power cable & cable that going to I.net, leve it for about 10 seconds plug it back in and its fine until half hour later, etc, ive got all secruity on, AVG (installed earlier today and its working a touch better), have done a anti-virus scan and didn't turn up anything, have deleted software that i dont use (not that it will help) got some information while it was booting up as follows:
CPU Shutdown Temp: 90oC/194oF
CPU Fan Speed: 3000-3013 RPM.
CPU Temp: 46-48oC
Not sure if that helps or owt? Anyone got some views on it or help in any way, would be much appreciated.
Thank you

I don't actually understand what you're asking tbh
But your story gets 4/10 as it lacks clarity and is difficult to read.

Oh why didn't you just say so!
No reason it should no be overheating if it's been ok for 3 years previous - unless any cooling fans etc have packed up inside
Judging by your posting of the CPU temp being 46-48deg then it's fine I'd say, maybe a little hot but not enough to shut it down.
Try putting a hoover to the cooling vents as they get full of dust which won't help.
Other than that not a lot you can really do, first port of call for me would be to check the ram as it's probably the most fragile piece of any PC - laptop or desktop

My acer was recently cutting out when opening a new task.. itunes, i.e, email etc.. was mainly due to using it on my bed and having the bottom covered.. i.e no heat discipation...
I did run ccleaner though and it cleaned it up alot and seems to run way better.. also i did upgrade the ram a while back.. i ran a scan at crucial and upgraded it to what it reccomended.. i have like 4gb of ram now
