I am at least glad my paranoia is not over-reacting.

No better? Oh dear. :-(

Googling the machine, it is getting on a little... is it possible that
the firmware update uncovered an overheating issue that was already
there?

Are there any BIOS options about limiting performance?

It may also be worth stripping it, giving the cooling subsystem a
thorough clean, and maybe replacing the thermal grease between CPU/GPU
and heatpipe.
