Compaq c700 Laptop getting hot Closed

Question

Hello,  
I have a Compaq c700 laptop that in the past would get hot but work fine.   
I could hear my fan running.  Yesterday the computer would work but would lock up after a few minutes.  I do not hear the fan.   
It will power up start up everything and go to a page or start a process and power off.   
Should I replace my fan.   

Thanks 
Judi

I've just been through that myself.  The answer is: the air inlet and probably he air outlet and the cooler fan on the microprocessor are loaded with dust and fluff.
I could not believe how much of this crap was inside those areas.Power the laptop off.  Take the cover off the CPU area, and blow compressed air [ typically a can of air such as "DUST OFF"] , onto the fan, and both air inlets and outlets.  
My laptop went from " I cannot bear the heat from the bottom of this laptop on my lap", to barely perceptable warmth.

If that does not do it, you have other more serious problems.
