Dell Precision M90 overheating!

Hi,

I have a M90 with Quadro 2500m, core duo 2.16 and 2 GB of ram. I use it to play games and I haven’t played a game that it can’t run.

I noticed all of a sudden it started lagging and the screen started flashing after about 10-20 minutes of play, it took me a while to work out what was causing it. I found out that the GPU temp was going up to 100c and the CPU was about 60-65c while I was playing games. It used to run at about 60-70c.

Could it be full of dust because the room I am in is quite dusty I clean my desktop regularly.

So does anyone know what the best way to clean it would be? E.g. take it apart and clean of just clean it together with the compressor?

If you don’t think it would be because it is dirty what else could it be?
Cheers,

Nick
