I think at this time little more can be done.
1) SMC resets have not remedied the issue.
2) The machine was left off overnight but after the startup chime the fans started to run at full speed.
The mac should be evlauated by an AASP. The significance of the AHT results are not necessary as the symptoms speak for themselves. The AHT results, if positive would be of value only to a certified technician, it would let him/her know which component is reporting issues.
