My acer Aspire V3-771G is over heating (90+ degrees C)? the fan is clean.

I brought an aspire V3-771G laptop a while ago and recently, after I reinstalled windows 7, it started to overheat badly. It started to overheat before the reinstall, which is why I reinstalled windows. 

 

Usually I could play small indie games and it would run smoothly without any issues, but recently they would run fine, then lag for a few seconds then run smoothly and lag... 

 

do you have any suggestions? 

the fan is clean as far as I can see. 

 

What else could it be?
