My laptop is dying

[mannos22]

My samsung r540 that i have owend for the past five years and have heavily used now appears to be at its end for some reason. Its cpu works at 50% or above all the time. It also has a tendency to crash and lagg. Ive looked for viruses with anti virus software cant they dont pic up any problems. What can i do to stop my laptop from dying??

Have you ever defragged it or refreshed it?

i fixed half of the problem i needed to reformat wich on his laptop was done quite easy. The next bit is that it seems to be overheating that looks like a ventilation problem.

There's three ways to fix that:
1. Use a vaccum cleaner to clean out the dust out of the fan.
2. Dissassemle it and clean it that way(if method 1 don't work.
3. Buy a cooling pad if the fan is busted or you're looking for extra cooling(if you don't know what it is look here: http/en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laptop_cooler)
