I do not understand why it is giving such heating problems.
After my semester is finished I will do a fresh install of windows in an attempt to alleviate the problem
I have used compressed air to clear the vents out from dust. It should be noted that this was done from the outside and I havent opened the laptop and done any inside cleaning yet.
Please share any advice or explanation on this problem.
