I would start with the basics that can cause that kind of effect:
Cooling: is the cpu fan turning,
is it coated with dust, how about case cooling?
Ram: what kind, how much, replaced? Tested?
Power: Lets assume that grandma got a e-machine or one of those bookshelf model hp/compac/ you name it, the ones with the 80-125 watt power supplys.............
Those would be the areas I would target, then look at software only after i was convinced that none of the above were the problem.....
