Hi there!
I'm posting this because I'm not very tech savvy and I'm facing an extremely annoying problem. With the weather warming up, this computer is constantly turning off during the day. Especially when I have a bunch of stuff opened or am watching a movie, that's usually when the computer decides to heat up and turn itself off. Very inconvenient when you are working on something!
The back fan is working since I feel air coming off the back, though can usually tell a few minutes before this thing goes out that it's going to turn off because the air coming out the back is usually warm. I haven't opened it up yet, but I'm afraid of damaging something.
Is this something best to be taken into a computer shop to get cleaned out? When I was searching online, I heard that dustandgunk can build up tocause this? It is a couple years old and to my knowledge, never been cleaned out.
Thanks!
