I can't tell, the vent is tiny with a pathetic fan, I used a vacuum for a few seconds (hopefully didn't kill the pathetic excuse for a fan) but it didn't help much) 

Open it up and clean out any dust, and replace the thermal paste.

Then try this

She made you and she can unmake you.

 

Serious note: I would also inspect any capacitors that there are inside the laptop to make sure they're not leaking or scarred

Well I'd crack a joke about Idaho and Salt Lake City. But I will reframe.

That is basically it, we know the laptop is shit, there isn't much you can do about shit laptops except this cost €999 when it was new, all the way back in like 2013.
