And do the power supply (inside) as well. There's a heatsink inside it that collects a lot of dust. If you're not comfortable doing this get it to someone who is. There's no need to replace the drive, yet. But you do risk corrupting the data on it.
I also believe you need to make sure it's cooling properly, including, and especially the CPU. If the CPU has a fan on top of the heatsink, it needs to come off and everything brushed out with a car detailing brush or similar. Then heatsink grease reapplied (SPARINGLY!!).
It would also be good to reseat the RAM.
