2010 MacBook Pro: Freeze w/ NVDA kernal error. Hardware fail or software problem?

Hundreds of complaints about the hardware design flaw which Apple never addressed in their 2009 model year computers, wherein the GeForce graphics card overheats and causes constant crashing, is here:

How about the same sort of problem in a 2010 MPB running OSX 10.6.8. Screen locks up, case is very very hot, need to use the Power Key to shut down. Since they never solved the 2009 problem, they probably used the same flawed design in the 2010 computers.

I have to keep this computer going as long as possible. I've used Macs exclusively since my Mac Plus, but 21st Century Apple is a stinking crappy company, which has ****** with me too much. I won't be buying anymore Apple products.

There seem to be no driver updates for the NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M and OSX 10.6.8.

Lately I get one or two freezes a day, always when browsing in FireFox (latest rev, which is 36.0.4). Need to shut down with power key. The hardware test on the Applications disk says my machine is OK. Is my hardware failing, or is this some software issue with FireFox? Or is OSX 10.6.8 simply too old to keep up with Flash and other web page crap? Can I slather a bunch of conductive grease inside my case to get more heat flow to the case itself?
