This would be my guess as well. Just because the case is cool doesn't mean the interior components are cool. To me, a cool laptop case is a warning sign that heat is not being dissipated properly. Try running a diagnostic like SpeedFan to check the CPU/GPU temps under load.

hmmm ok.

With my computer doing nothing but having firefox open, and me typing this, I've got temperatures ranging from 46 to 34 degrees Celsius on 4 different displayed components. That tells me that at least one part of my computer is still pretty hot on the inside. It will only get worse if I do something strenuous.

What could I do to lower the temperature?

Have you tried carbonite?

Or, you know, cleaning off the dust? I know you have a fan, but that doesn't get rid of 100% of dust. More like 20%.

And then there's google.

I tried cleaning out the dust, but other than poking it out of my fan vents with a paper clip, I can't open up this machine to save my life. Thing has like 97 different screws and when I get them all out, it still won't open up. I'm afraid I'm going to break it.
