My asus F3T laptop seems to be overheating alot lately. Anytime I play medieval total war 2 it will overheat and switch itself off around 20 minutes in.
I downloaded speedfan and saw that all the temperatures were pretty high even on idle. When playing a memory intensive game the temperature would shoot through the roof. Especially the core temp which went above 100c.
Had this laptop for about a year now and not had anything like this happen before.
I think it might be because of dust accumalating in the fan but im not too sure.
Ive stuck a fan to blow directly on my laptop to cool it down a bit and it seems to have worked a little, the core temp has gone down a fair bit. But I dont know if I want to be constantly blowing a fan against it.
Do you think I should open it up and give it a good dust out?
