Take the GPU out and blow out the heatsink and fan with a can of compressed air.

I've been known to use an oscillating room fan blowing directly on the processor sink for a day or two, till I got to Office Depot and bought another case fan. It's amazing, the harebrained ideas... Of course, this was a P4 750

This is probably the longest I've ever had a Windows machine run without having to restore it to scratch. I'm used to restoring to "factory" about every 2 yrs. I've run with Win7 since new in 2009 and only recently (Nov, '14) restored to clean up the machine from all my 'xperimenting. LOL!! I may never need another machine.

Upgraded to 10 when it was still free, then installed 2017 update.
