This machine of mine has been running hotter and hotter and programs like TMPGenc have started crashing for no reason , so it's probably about time for a spring clean . What products have you guys found work best to clean gunk off of he CPU and heat sink ? Any good online stockists of thermal paste ?

unfortunately when I took my CompTIA A+ Computer Technician course we never got to work with laptops.

but we did use a little rubbing alcohol on a soft cloth to clean the crap off the processor and heat sinks of desktop models. dont see why you couldnt do the same with the laptop.

Thanks , I might just try using rubbing alcohol . For now though I've just used canned air with the back both on and off . Will wait and see if this makes a difference to heat levels and the programs it's effecting ...
