Has the system had an internal cleaning and replacement of the thermal pads/compound that connect the heatsinks to the CPU/GPU? If not, that's overdue.

This 17 R3 originally shipped from Dell 8 years/3 months/19 days ago on July 27, 2016.
So ejn63 is on the correct path of troubleshooting. The thermal pads could be dry by now.
