Many older models like this suffer from poor cooling design and have issues with overheating. Especially with GPU chip. You can replace the cr@ppy gpu thermal pad with copper shims, but it may not be a total fix. De-fluffing is always a good idea. Run it always on a hard surface, preferably raised up from it with maybe a couple of pencils, or one of those USB fans.Back up your data!
