For the past month my laptop has been going crazy... and i really mean it.

For the last 5 years this laptop has been running like a dream. But recently my CPU and GPU go over 100c while watching a movie or playing a game... it idles at around 80c. I have no idea what to do, can anyone help?

I used to play League of Legends regularly for a long time i could stay on it all day and it would usually never go over 80c and now it overheats after 2 games of it

Acer Aspire 7740G is the laptop and this is a screenshot of the temps

What he said. Depending on what model your laptop is it is relatively easy to so. Some laptops like HP you will likely have to disassemble the whole thing to get into the heatsink and fan. Goodle your laptop model disassembly guide and get cracking.
