    How do you know it's very hot? Do you have a temperature monitor? Does it automatically shut itself off? Thermal pastes are often used.

    Thanks for respons.

    Thermal paste are 7 years old. I monitor temperature with HWmonitor, and Intel CPU is 75 degree C ang GPU ATI at 85 degreeC. Last time is shutting down itself several time.

    Have you tried to clean the dust buildup inside or at least vacuumed the air intake port?

    OK. Please start following this other recent thread on the same overheating issue with a similar Acer model. Start reading near the bottom of page 2 on running task manager to try to identify the program, application or processes which seem to be overworking the CPU, causing to overheat and automatically shut down. I think we should also do this for your system and all three of us try to fix both systems at the same time.
