    I just physically cleaned my laptop fan and now it randomly goes ballistic


    I have cleaned my dell vostro 15 3568 fan with a few paintbrushes and a lot of blowing. But for some reason when i open a relatively powerful program such as People Playground it goes ballistic for no apparent reason. It also gets loud when i change my battery setting to be less energy efficient and more performative. A couple of minutes after closing the program the buzzing stops. I have talked to my dad about this he knows quite a bit and he says i shouldn't rush downloading any drivers for now. We are planning to clean it physically even more. Any thoughts on how i can fix it?

    :)

  3. Laptop randomly shuts down after latest Windows 10 update

    Since the latest update of Windows 10 my computer decides to randomly shut down after every couple of minutes. First the screen goes black, then the sounds stops and after quite a while the power also goes down.

    Obviously I though of cleaning the fan with a big vacuum, as suggested on My Windows 10 Computer Randomly Shuts Down . However, after doing this, the shutting down goes even quicker. I cannot even properly log-on before the shutdown takes place.

    What should be my next step?

    Ps. The computer is quited aged (roughly 3 - 4 years). The battery is dead enough such that I always need to have it plugged in an outlet. It might just be "done for" but I'm hoping to revive it for just a little bit more.
