When I turn my laptop on the GPU temp is 60 or so. Then within 5 minutes it will shoot up to 85-100. The laptop then shuts off. It's about 3 years old at most. The fan seems to be working, I cleared out dust the other day. I have no idea why. in HWiNFO the fan seems to going 3000-4000 rpm.
This laptop always had some heating issues, but it was never this bad. I've talked to asus many times about it over the past couple years and they tell me it usually runs this hot and that an RMA wouldn't help. But its never been this bad. It runs about 81 idle gpu. CPU runs about 55-65 idle.
What's the deal with this?
I think the fan might be dead, not sure.

Im not quite sure about the model you have, but it's a dual fan system yes?
If so, you should be able to feel if its actually blowing some air out (as your HWiNFO suggests), if thats the case, try a repaste. -
