I really need some help. My computer is heating up to a blazing 90 degrees Fahrenheit at times. This amazes me because I have around 4~5 working fans in the computer, I have just dusted it out, and the case is nearly shut. Ive had my computer for about 4~5 years. I don't know whats going on, Is it time for a new computer? Or am I missing something?
Did I help you? If so +Rep me for a cookie...

Depends on many things.

This kind of gave it away though:

The graphics card prolly can't handle w/e you're doing (I'm assuming gaming?) Most computers heat up during extended gameplay periods though, when the graphics card is really getting worked.

Please contact the maker of your computer for more specific info, and check your specs. Might not meet the game requirements.

Is it the entire computer or just a certain part? I know that my gpu usually sits around 60-70c.

Small bucket of ice + fan cools it down quite nicely until you get it fixed.

I'm having the same the same problems, but my computer reaches 95 degrees Celcius (almost the boiling point of water). It shuts down automatically when I play league of Legends for more than 10 minutes.

The solution I found was to play with an Icepack under it. The kind you put in coolers, to keep everything cold, or in lunchboxes. It work pretty well, but it's a temporary fix of course. I'm guessing you have a desktop? It might be more complicated to place ice around it, but it's probably still feasible.

I know that for mine one of the fans died. You say yours are working but the computer might not be handling their speeds well enough if it heats up too much.

I blame brand. The bastard snuck his way into your LoL program while you weren't looking and is fuxing up your LoL experience for funsies.
