Asus A53S Fan Issues (event 41 kernel-power)

[pseudonymm]

Hello everyone,

I seem to have some very serious issues with my laptop and was wondering if someone could shine some light on what a possible solution could be. About a month ago my laptop fan started becoming quite noisy (sort of a vibrating/grinding sound). So I go to download a temperature monitoring software and noticed that the temperatures seemed a bit high. Soon after, while I was gaming, the computer randomly restarts. I opened event viewer and found out that it was an event 41 kernel-power. Over the past few weeks it has gotten worse as when I try to game, there's random lag, audio crackling, and within five minutes it's shutdown. If anyone can help me, even in the smallest way it would mean the world to me. Thank you for your time.

Get a vacuum with a hose and run it across the vent of your laptop while its off for a few seconds till it looks clear.

You prob have dust jam packed in there causing this issue.

Thank you natr0n, I'll give that a try tomorrow and let you know how it goes

Possibly a broken fan that will need to be replaced. It happens quite often on laptops.

Thank you caring1, I've been looking into replacing my fan but I have never really opened up a laptop before. I guess it's worth a shot because its no longer under warranty. I'll give it a shot and let you guys know how it goes.

So i just ordered the fan and some thermal paste to apply between the heatsink and the cpu/gpu. Any advice about doing either of these things would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and your insight.
