    Toshiba M70 Overheating I think?

    My Toshiba M70 (Satellite M70-FE5, serial number PSM71C-FE500E) sometimes shuts off when placed under a load. It runs 24/7 and is 99% under regular usage, office applications etc... But when I play games, or put it under any type of high load, it sometimes shuts off.

    I've been reading that this is common for Toshiba laptops and was wondering if there was any tutorials on disassembling the M70? I searched and found a page dealing with Toshiba laptops but the M70 was missing.

    Also, if I manage to take it apart, is it as simple as cleaning off the dust? Do I need to add anything to it? (thermal grease or something?)
