[QUOTE="Lightning_Brian, post: 692081, member: 65620"] I would clean out your laptop with some compressed air. Clean it out good - be careful not to go too full blast with the compressed air. I used the kind that is in a container. I like to clean out my computers every other month just to keep them squeaky clean (may be a bit excessive). From there, I would see if your fans are spinning up correctly as well. If one or none of your fans are spinning up I'd like at the defective fans and perhaps replace them. Can you get into BIOS before overheating and see how hot things are getting? Sometimes you bad capacitors can happen. Look for anything bulging or not looking right inside your laptop. ****Wear an anti-static wristband or be extra careful when poking around.**** [/QUOTE]
