HEAT, could be the problem from dust build up over time. Well known problem with the 5xxx notebooks. Use a can of compressed air and clean out the vents on a weekly basis. If the dust builds up over a longer period of time, it will bake on some of the hardware and you must then clean by hand, something some have done by opening the system. Don't forget to use a good spyware program that also slows the system down. Use at least two spyware programs since using only one may not catch everything. Other's may have some other idea's that will help.
