At this point it may not be a heat issue anymore, but, do the fan(s) spin? Also the heat sink has radiator fins and sometimes after prolonged use, the fins become blocked. That's why I suggested blowing the air in at the exhaust port.
Just an FYI, most of the time, heat will not affect the laptop/desktop - other than making it shut off randomly. Processors are really tough and can stand up to the heat for quite a while.
I would suggest, like others, that you take the HD out, hook it up to another pc and get any data you want off of it...
