    Since my laptop is already more than 3 years old (out of warranty), I opened it with the guide of the service manual.
    I am amazed of what I found: dusts clusters in the form of foam-like substance that blocked the ventilation. I remove the dusts and my laptop is working fine now Smiley Happy

    Hi,

    Yes the problem was dust.

    • I suggest that you clean the air inlet and outlet with a can of compressed air, place the system on a surface where there is good air circulation.

    - You may also add a little bit of thermal grease to the processor

    Yes, since I'm not sure where I can get a can of compressed air. I removed the dust by opening the laptop and manually remove the dust accumulated inside the fan that blocked the ventilation.
