My computer is over heating way to fast.?

my computer overheats quickly. it didn't used to. why is it doing that and how can I stop it from doing that.

Answers:
One of the most common causes is dust, lack of air flow, having it sitting on carpet and the fibres get sucked into the inlets.
Open the case, and clean all the vents, fans etc, use a clean air source to loosen the dust, and carefully use the vacuum cleaner, be aware of static discharges.
Also place the unit on a hard surface to improve airflow.
Check that you have enough fans in the case to allow plenty of air circulation as well.
Try cleaning it for one
or get a new fan.
If it's a desktop pc, then you should first check to see if the fan is working. If it's a notebook pc make sure the fan vent on the bottom isn't being covered up when you use it. That's all I can tell ya!
Make sure nothing is in the way of the fan or try even seeing if the fan is even working if its not working buy a new one.
