    cpu always at 100 celcious, why?

    If it is a new build and the HS is seated properly better you replace your chip or the heat sink or both. Either it is generating too much heat or the heat sink is not adequate.

    How can my friend clean his dust encrusted mobo?

    Yeah alcohol is a good option if you make sure the board is dry before you switch on. http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/59550-13-cleaning-circuit-boards

    Should I be worried about these temps?

    You should spread the compound evenly to form a thin layer for best results. If you know some overclocking enthusiast personally just consult him to get it done properly.

    Underclock?

    That is OK. You should be worried only if it was the other way around. Best way to handle a RAM is not to overclock it.

    Windows xp repair install fails

    Safest way now is to take the hard disk else where, take a back up of what ever you have to preserve and then make a fresh installation. Reinstalling programs wouldn't be a big overhead right?
