The Core 2 brand was introduced on 27 July 2006. Its a super old processor now days. Linux run real well on Core 2 Duo. 
It seems to me its just wear and tear and the hardware has done its job for many years and its now coming to the end of its life span. Its not worth throwing money at it. 
Linux would run better on that system.

You could try one of these if you have the ventilation on the bottom of the laptop. Not everyone likes them, but they do work pretty well.

yes i have laptop cooler for my laptop but it's different kind

Just don't use Meths to clean the Thermal paste off.

And that is overkill on the Thermal paste and no ESD strap??? He got lucky.

[Compton]

GS I agree with you don,t use to Meths to clean the Thermal paste off.

yes I would say its over kill on Thermal paste one little dot on the cpu should work

on the ESD yes you should wear a ESD strap but you can get off without wearing a ESD strap once you touch a metal part on

the case before touching a system components you should me ok



f23948 I am sorry we can,t help because the lack of airflow in the case
