I do this to my laptop and desktop computer every 3 to four months. A lot of dust balls in there can cause it to short. Sometimes it also helps to change the paste since a lot of the times the old paste tends to completely dry up and crack into powder.Ī couple of times a year I unscrew my power supply (though not on laptop) and take it apart to get all of the dust out of it. Don t forget to replace the cooling paste which you put on the processor and cooler that is on the graphic card so it wont get overheated. Clean that out and it ll be running nice and cool again.

Problems with overheating laptops are often due to accumulated dust in front of the suction. This means you have to detach the fans and coolers carefully and blow on it and in some cases use a toothbrush or something to get into those small openings such as q-tips with alcohol. This is often the solution for crashing, overheating and fan speeds spinning on full blast. Before you try to adjust fan speeds remember to clean your graphic card and processor fans from dust.
