Okay thank you @RedFoxxie , I checked the temperature and it went up to at least 90'C so I'll check into cleaning around the computer. Could I use a duster or would it be best to use compressed air?
Hey there again @honeysuffer
That sounds, indeed, like an overheating issue.
Please, rather use compressed air than something physical such as a feather duster to wipe off any dust from inside the computer. You can of course use a duster or even a cloth to wipe off dust from the surface of a computer, but never, ever, stick anything capable of creating static electricity into your computer. That'd fry the chips inside and that definitely is not good ! There are certain brushes existing which can be used to gently rub dust off chips and the board but if it isn't specifically made for it, don't use it.
This guide gives you a rather good general idea how you can clean up your computer and what sort of steps to take to ensure you clean it up properly: https://www.wikihow.com/Clean-the-Inside-of-a-Computer
If you have a laptop, do not try opening the computer up on your own. You can clean up the fans and the heat shield by blowing compressed air through the vents. Look for the vents both on the side and bottom of the computer to reach everywhere properly. Make sure also that when you're using a laptop, these ventilation holes wouldn't be covered by anything. For example, a common mistake is to use a laptop on ones lap. Despite the name "Laptop" , the modern laptops actually are not very good used on ones lap.
Good luck !
