Laptop overheating

So, I have a (almost) 4 year old Asus laptop, with a i7 4710HQ and a GTX850m.

 

Last month, I sent it to a computer store to clean dust (so much dust) and to put new paste, as I never did any of these things since I bought it (I know, I know, I just kept postponing it 'till last month).

 

It was running (obviously) hot before I sent it, but guess what? Now it is worse, and I can't put a bit of stress on the CPU without it overheating and shutting down.

It does 87ºC playing fucking PES6.

I thought the guy had properly tested it, but I guess he didn't.

 

 

My guess is bad paste, bad paste application or heatsink not put on properly.

 

Do you think I am right, or can it be something else?

 

PS - I will take it back to the store, but he is probably on vacation right now

I'm assuming he changed the paste, because by removing all dust and dirt (he took a pic and showed me, it was a lot) the temps would get lower, not go up.

 

I didn't do it at home because of Asus stupid design which would force me to take the whole laptop apart so I could get to the heatsink and CPU.

I guess I should've lost an afternoon doing it carefully...
