Asus M50vm Heating Issues

Hi, i've got my laptop for quite a few months now and recently, the temperature of the laptop suddenly skyrocketed.
Can anyone help me out with this problem?

 

As well as Pete's suggestions a faulty battery may be the issue, does the overheating happen when connected to mains or all the time?

 

i'm always connected to a main but i've cleaned the grills once.
How often should i be cleaning the grills?

 

@Pete Working from two different angles here, sorry.

@jAsOs

Pete's idea is probably correct but since you're not using the battery it may be worthwhile removing it and seeing if the heating issue improves. If it does though this does not mean the battery was the problem only that heat dissipation has improved.

 

Alright, i removed the cover where my GPU and processor is located, used some compressed air to blow the heat sink. Not much dust came out of them but it somehow reduced my laptop's temperature.
Yes Pete, the fan is running really loudly, that's what made me post here.

 

what's a coctail stick?
Well my CPU usage spikes every once in a while. I've tried turning things of but it still stays that way

 

A thin wooden stick pointed at both ends, Pete's suggesting using a suitable (non conductive) tool to move the blockage and perhaps your compressed air can remove it.

 

i've tried using compressed air but it doesn't come out.

 

alright, i'll try that, but is there any way to open up the cooler and clean it dirently?

 

Check the downloads at Asus for a Service Manual or basic dismantling instructions. It is generally simple to remove the keyboard and you should be able to access all the cooling system underneath.

 

i'm talking about the cooler.
How do i open an cooler master infinite

 

You are talking about a cooling pad. I think "we" are talking about getting the dust out of the laptop's cooling system. It seems you have experienced heat problems in the past, for which you purchased the cooling pad. The problem is probably that dust is blocking the cooling system inside the laptop. You should see an exhaust vent or feel heated air exhausting from it (unless it is totally blocked), on the laptop itself.

A laptop is highly compressed compared to a desktop computer, but it is even more important for cooling to work correctly. The laptop probably has a high movement of cooling air through it's (built-in) cooling system. The cooling system inside the laptop is probably blocked with dust.

Our suggestions (unless I am missing something) refer to the cooling system inside the laptop, not a cooling pad.

If you don't feel confident blowing out the cooling system on the laptop itself or opening it up to clean it out, take it to a computer repairer.

Ok, i think there is a confusion here.
There is a reason why i made 2 separate threads.
This thread is for the heating issue for my laptop.
The other thread is for my laptop cooling pad, a Notepal Infinite.
Both are separate issues.

@matt, i feel just fine blowing the dust out of my Laptop's internal cooling system.

@pete, Sorry for the confusion. I would like to know how to open up a Cooler Master Notepal infinite to clean up the dust.

As for the Laptop heating issue, it was resolved by blowing the dust build-up away from the heatsinks in the laptop and changing a few startup programs so that no unnecessary applications are turned on.
