Right - determined to sort this out today.
Started the machine (for the first time today) in setup and found the
page which gives CPU temperature, etc. Said should be 72C. Over the short
period I watched it it climbed from 50C to 80C then shut down. The fan was
running normally.
Is there anything that could cause the CPU to overheat this quickly -
some form of abnormal load?

The heat sink is not fitted correctly.. take it off and do it again.
Next time buy an Intel.

Bad heatsinking.
Bad CPU.

Think so. I'm not really a PC person. ;-)

No - it said something like target temp. Can't look at it now as it's in
bits.

Whatever I've done has made it worse. It shuts down just after showing the
BIOS page at startup.

Sounds like no contact with heatsink at all.
(If you did that with the really early AMD hammer, you heard
a crack about 2 seconds after switching on, which was the CPU
case cracking in half;-)
Can you get the ZIF leaver up with the heatsink in place?
If so, do that and lift the heatsink off. It should come
off with the chip, as a thin layer of heatsink compound
correctly applied actually takes a bit of pulling apart,
like a rubber sucker.

The BIOS reported it as master not present, but slave only. I was hoping
correcting this might speed up the damn thing.;-) But it's totally fooked
at the moment anyway. I'll look at it again this evening.
