Hi Guys,
I have a Dell Inspiron 15R 5520 with AMD Radeon HD 7670M and i5-3210M. Recently my laptop has been running too hot while gaming. It shuts down after less 15 minutes of gaming even though I keep all the settings to low.

Yeah, if you're not confident you could do what electrontau suggested. Temperature issues are generally related to fan issues. Your thermal paste might also need replacing. If you tell a repair shop your symptoms they should be able to fix it for you, I'd personally do it myself in your position. A lot more rewarding and cheaper. Up to you.

Have you tried dusting the inside of your laptop? Use a can of compressed air. Laptops generally get hot while doing intensive tasks, so try cleaning it out. If the fans are clogged the laptop will heat up and throttle, and eventually shut down as you're experiencing.

Is there any way to confirm that its dust and nothing else. I want to make sure before opening up the laptop.

I have defragmented (Defraggler), run all kinds of scans and have updated drivers.

I can easily do all of this myself, I just wanted to make sure that there wasn't something else that I needed to think of. Thanks a lot by the way.
One more question:
Are both these products good?
Accedre 31-in-1 Magnetic Screwdriver Tool Kit (http://www.snapdeal.com/product/accedre-31in1-magnetic-screwdriver-tool/45062107?pos=0;49)
and
Deepcool Z3
I know screwdrivers are all fine but just you know a yes would do.

Seems fine. I've always gone with Arctic (AS5 / MX-4) but that seems decent.
