hay all basicaly the misses latopt has decided to throw another wobbly
now its getting very hot and slows so much it takes about 2 minuits to open up the internet browser ect..
fans going to try keep it cool and the vents are always kept clear and its alowed a lot of air round it.
i've run AVG 8 on it and there is no issues
i have run Ad-Aware SE plus on it and it pulls up nothing out of the ordenary (just the odd tracking cokie ect)
i've run Ccleaner which cleans out the old shity programs and regestry errors
i've run De-fragler to defrag the HD
booted it in safe mode and done all the above again just to make sure and its still getting hot and slowing down.. anyone got any ideas on what cold be wrong?

If everything on the Windows side of things is OK then your best bet is to strip the laptop down, clean any dirt and crap that you can see.
Next, remove the heatsink/fan assembly, again clean any dirt embedded in the fan/heatsink and then clean the heatsink and CPU mounting surfaces, apply some thermal grease and then refit the heatsink/fan.
Finally, reassemble the laptop and it will run fine afterwards.

I had the same problems on my HP laptop and that wasn't even a year old when it started developing the same issues.

I'd strip it down and give it a good clean, you might find an obvious build up of dust or you may have to be very thorough. Good luck and fingers crossed.

Yes. Do a Google for your laptop's "service manual" - this will tell you in what order to remove things if you're not sure. Normally it's something like:
- battery
- hard drive
- RAM
- WiFi mini PCI card
- keyboard
- TFT screen
- top plastics
Just be careful with the plastics - if you use too much force some can snap very easily so just take your time.

Heatsink air ducts are probably just clogged mate. On my dell, this was accessible just by removing a cut out on the underside of the laptop and then carefully removing the dust. Make sure its off and the battery is removed first though
