Just open it up and get rid of any dust you can, afterwards, take a look at the CPU and GPU chips, see what the thermal paste is like on them, because it could just be that you need to replace the thermal paste, which costs anywhere up to £5, I've done this with my PS3 instead of having to send it in, although itonly worked for like 6 months, but it still worked, I've just been applying more thermal paste every six months or so to keep it fresh and working fine, and one tube can last like 4-6 times depending on how much you put on, lol. If you do try this and it doesn't work then I wouldn't know what to suggest because this is the only error I've had with my PS3, overheating, and a tube of thermal paste has potentially saved me a ton of money, especially since I'm out of warranty anyway, lol. |
Speaking of which... Arctic Silver 5 is the one you want. It's the best Thermal Grease around, IMO.
