You could try using something like Process Explorer to check the services to see which ones, if any, are actually causing issues.
You know, instead of just firing a shotgun at a crowd and hoping you kill the bad guy...

If you just want a really quick check, look at the svchost processes. Those contain all the services (one instance might run one service, another might run 10 different ones at once, etc.) and if none of them are using even 2% CPU usage, then going through your services is a waste of time as far as overheating is concerned.

I have found quite a few that have no purpose to me, such as the Windows Media Center services, touch screen and remote desktop crap I'll never use. I'm being extremely careful in what I'm turning off, but I will create a restore point as a precaution.
