Open the computer. Clean the inside carefully again .... specially the fan grills and air vents. When reseating, apply new thermal paste to the CPU. If you cannot do it yourself, take help of someone who can do it, but for a computer as old as your, overheating is all possible, and dried thermal paste is the most common cause of it.Edit: Ran the Speccy program, found that my CPU, Motherboard and Graphics Card appear to be overheating. Not sure if this is still because of excess dust that I haven't cleaned out well or a problem with the fan (?)
Report us back when it is done.
