I have laptop with spec:

Asus A43S
Intel Core i3 2350M
2048MB NVIDIA GeForce 610M
6GB RAM
HD 500GB

Recently, I felt that my laptop is too hot, even you can felt it at next to touchpad. even with coolerpad, the temp is still high when it idle, the temp is around 60-70C, however, it could reaching almost 100C after gaming and dont cool down after i exit the game.Before this I have done laptop sugery to clean up dust inside my loptop fan and the problem still exist

So, anyone has idea what wrong with my laptop and how to fix it. Thanks for helping me

Yes thats way too high even for gaming. Read through this and follow the steps as it could be any number of things- if its dust free check the batteries arent dying etc http://www.howtogeek.com/67660/how-to-diagnose-and-fix-an-overheating-laptop/

It's possible, but not something you want to consider.

Maybe a virus is always running in the background stressing out your computer. But wow, 100C! You could boil water with that...

Yes this is way too high. You should either rma the laptop if you still have a warranty for it, which I doubt. Try opening it, cleaning everything out, changing the thermal paste and possibly chaning the fans if they dont work ( although I have no idea if its possible to buy laptop fans). If all else fails try underclocking and undervolting your cpu if your mobo supports it and see if your temps go down ( this WILL affect performance , so only use this as a test. Has gaming performance gone down? If thats the case, your cpu could be doing intensive tasks in the background. This may be a sign of a virus, check task manager.

Check to see the program you use to measure the temp is accurate. I used to use a program on my laptop and it ALWAYS read above 80 C. Downloaded a different program and it said something more believable.
