Other signs like elevated sensor temperatures, fans screaming, raised 
surface temperatures, smoke ...

I have a 2010 vintage Acer Aspire 1430 (Arrandale i3-330UM) and it still 
works fine on those rare occasions that I use it. It has a weaker GPU 
than the Acer Aspire V5 (121), but its Intel HD Graphics (Ironlake) 
might be better supported than the AMD Radeon HD 6290.

If the problem only started with a system update as reported, it could 
be a software defect. I suggest gathering more evidence.

Kind regards,
