Computer overheating error code M1004

Hi all,
 
My Inspiron 1150 keeps overheating.  I can't run a virus scan or watch a movie without the fan going crazy and then the system shutting down.  The error code (M1004) says that the temperature got too high and the system shut down automatically and that I should check to make sure nothing is blocking the fans.  I wouldn't be surprised if there's a good amount of dust in there...
 
Is this something that I can do on my own (and if yes, where can I find instructions) or should I take it to someone who knows what they're doing? 
 
Thanks,
 
M
