My G750JW's temperature has been increasing recently, I've reinstalled Windows 8.1 and confirmed that it was my hardware causing the heat ups, not any software using the CPU.
I've had my laptop for about 16 months now and I was wondering anything I can do to cool it down, I'm not good at taking technology apart and I really don't want to break anything.
Can I send it in to Asus for a repaste/dusting?
How much would that cost me?
How long would it take to return to me?
Thanks for your help, taking any recommendations!

Torpedo499, you could ask Asus 🙂
https://vip.asus.com <== create a login, register your laptop, file a Technical Inquiry asking nicely to get your laptop dust cleaned out and re-pasted if needed. I wouldn't say anything about the price, let Asus respond first.
If you have any computer service centers around, you could ask the manager at one if they would open it up and clean out the dust, and check the paste job to see if it has dried out and needs re-doing.
Cleaning out the dust bunnies might be enough 🙂

Thanks for the tip! Do you have an estimate of how long it will take?

Torpedo499, for a local place, overnight, for Asus, anywhere from 1 week to 4 weeks, or more 🙂
Mostly Asus is fast, but some regions seem to have 3rd party support hired by Asus that isn't quite speedy in any sense 🙂
Where are you located, approximately?

Thank you, I really appreciate the help! Do think a local store such as Geek Squad from Best Buy would do a good job? I'd probably want to watch them clean it out and repaste so I can know what to do later on.
