Computer/Laptop Overheating
A Computer/Laptop with the "Overheating" fault usually shows it through the body gets uncomfortably hot near the fan vents, the fan runs at high speed constantly, and performance drops noticeably after some time in use. This is typically traced back to dust-clogged heat sink and fan, dried-out thermal paste on the processor, and a fan that has slowed down or failed. A technician resolves it by cleaning the heat sink and fan and reapplying thermal paste, or replacing the fan if it has failed.
