Take the case off your computer, 6ish screws at the back.

With a clean unused soft paint brush or a camera lens brush, brush any dust off the components inside very gently. Dust settling on the motherboard etc etc can contribute to overheating. I then used a vacuum to collect dust and crap from the bottom of the case

Buy a desktop fan and position it near to the open side of the pc and leave it on all the time you are using it.

Mine was overheating badly last week, I've done this and you can feel from the back of the pc that the heat has dropped considerably and its working normally now.

Did you clean PC's in your upholstery company?

Yes I used a karcher water spray cleaner .... they came up brilliantly, but regrettably they never ever worked afterwards for some reason. I had to leave the country soon afterwards due to a number of people sueing me

If I knew then what I know now, I would have used a scrubbing brush instead
