I recently found my laptop under my shelf the other day, I remember it was from like 2-3 years ago.
It is a Dell inspiron n5110
i7 (cant identify version)
64 bit 4gb ram windows 7
I tried turning it on the other day and It seemed to be very slow when I try browing or opening apps, and I started to feel that the laptop was getting hot too then the screen just freezes as it shoes the loading cursor.
Does anyone know what I need to do?

Better to clean the dust that is possible, specially check the fan rpm. Re-applying thermal paste will be better. Re-install Windows and check the performance again.

I tried cleaning it out, but it seems to not have much dust inside, tried switching it on again and it still performed like before.

I found it about a week ago and I remember I stopped using it because of it being so slow and inefficient, its gotten worse now. I believe its a heating issue since my fan is making strange noises.
