Early 2008 15-inch MacBook Pro problems

Hi,

I have an early 2008 15-inch MacBook Pro that I dug out of my closet and replaced the screen.
The screen on the original one was damaged physically by a candle sitting behind the laptop - it wan't noticed until it ruined the screen.

So...
That MNp was running 10.6.8 when the screen was damaged.
Replaced the screen and everything seemed fine
Put it away for a few months, just dug it out again and...
1. When I booted up on the internal original 200 GB hard drive, I get to the Apple logo, the spinning wheel for a while and then the spinning wheel stops and it just sits there
2. Tried booting in recovery mode - same thing
3. Tried booting in safe mode - same thing
4. Got a FW back-up drive which had 4 back ups on it - all show up when I start with the option key
5. Tried booting with one of the back ups and end up with a weird flashing screen, mostly black and white
6. Tried booting up with a different back up on the FW external and the MBp boots all the way.
The back up the MBp booted with was 10.11.5. Seem to run OK with it.
Ran Disk Utility on the internal HD and the four back ups on the external FW drive - they all checked OK.
However the MBp seems to run quite hot - CPU temp went up to 91 degrees and then settled at 86 degrees.
Both fans are running at about 2000 rpm

7. Shut down the MBp and tried booting it up on the internal HD. Booted up fine this time, so maybe disk utility fixed something.
But when on 10.6.8 I get the occasional flicker on the screen.
Went to the dashboard to check the CPU temperature - sitting at 86 degrees.
Then could not go from dashboard back to desktop by hitting the escape key - looks like the keyboard was locked up. Mouse cursor still worked fine, but clicking with the mouse did not. Had to shut down via the power button.
Then MBp won't start until it cools off a bit.

Two questions....
1. Is 91 or 86 degree CPU temperature OK for that model? The bottom of the case gets hotter than I would like. The MBp is sitting on a glass and wood table
2. I thought there was an Apple hardware test on could run, but where do I find that?
