    I bet.

    Make sure you have adequate airflow and that nothing is caked w\ dust... How old is your laptop? Is it under warranty? was it sitting unused for an extended period of time?
    It fell off the back of a lorry, so no warranties. It's now around 3 years old..
    Haven't come around to it yet. I'll keep you guys posted.

    Edit: Removed all the dust, but did not yet put some new cooling paste on the cpu. It improved a little bit, system's not rebooting. Temps are still high though:

    The paste will only help so much. I think maybe getting a new fan???
