m15 R3, overheating and noisy
My alienware computer Ive had for a few years now gets super hot as soon as I turn it on and now while the fans are loudlt working theres an occasional buzzing noise like something may be loose on or in my laptop. Is there a way I can fix both problems? I will have a single program open and it will start overheating

Hi
Can you clean out the cooling fan area?
Perhaps re-apply any thermal paste?
