My gaming laptop gets very hot and sometimes shuts down while playing. Could this be dust, thermal paste, fan problem, or something else? Is cleaning and overheating repair usually enough?

„Solche Defekte kommen häufig vor, meist aufgrund von Staub oder verbrauchter und ausgetrockneter Wärmeleitpaste. Es kann aber auch sein, dass der Lüfter ausgefallen ist oder einfach nur blockiert und feststeckt.“

"Such faults are common, specifically due to dust or old and dried-out thermal paste, but it could also be that the fan has stopped working, or it may simply be clogged and stuck."
