My CPU has been crashing quite often lately, and when I reboot it often displays the message "your CPU was shut down due to thermal overheating. Please service unit to resolve this issue."
I've taken the sides off and blown out all the dust with hot air, moved the CPU out from the wall and off the ground to maximize air flow, checked to see if the fan is working properly (it is), lowered the temp. in my apartment, etc. Still shutting down occassionally.
I've googled for some answers, but they are either too techie or too vague. Should I just take it in? If so, where? Or does anyone have some good advice?
