Solved! Laptop started to heat and reboot

Hi, I'm using Compaq presario series laptop. Using it for more than 8 years, but using it for long time my laptop started to heat up and system started to reboot.

Specs:
Windows 7 ultimate 32 bit
Ram 2gb
Board Intel core i3

Desperately needed a solution. Thanks in advance, solution to this thread will be appreciated.

I suspect that the fan/heatsink assembly needs cleaning/replacing and thermal paste may have gone off.
