It's an ASUS X54C laptop with an i3 2310, 4GB of RAM and Intel Integrated Graphics. I have had it a year and it used to go under 78c when gaming. I think it's not dust because it didin;t gradully get hotter it was 78c when gaming for sometime then it was always about 90c. The 99c yes I admit I was sitting on my bed but other times when it goes to 90c I am not. The laptop even at 85c feels REALLY hot out of the exhaust area. I guess if it really feels hot it's not a faulty sensor.

Hope you guys can help thanks :)

Had the same problem on my asus laptop. Looked up a video guide, bought some good thermal paste, and popped it open and repasted the Cpu. Dropped 30 degrees on average easy. Cheap Asus thermal paste junk.

Even though I built a PC myself I don't really wanna mess around with it because I might mess something up :/

stuperstrong - It still goes to 90c on a airflow area like on my desk. Is there a decent cooler pad? (Cheap) which you would reccomend ? :)
