so is the processor over heating?
u need to take off the heatsink clean that up then clean the cpu add new paste and re-assmble

to remove old heatsink paste if theres any left use alcoholic cleaing solution or wipes even baby wipes n cotton buds

Are you sure it's over heating? These days most comps shut down so it doesn't fry the CPU.

If it is over heating, can you hear the fan running at all?

My favorite is DAE Brake & Carb cleaner. A squirt of the cleaner & a couple of wipes & it's just like new.

Gotta be careful around some paints & plastics... it does like to melt them. Especially on Xbox's
