@Borninthe1900s, Welcome to HP Support Community,

 

Thank you for posting your query.

 

As an HP support agent, I'd recommend that you consider taking your laptop to an authorized service center for a few reasons.

Fan & Thermal Paste: Replacing the fan and applying thermal paste is tricky, and if not done right, it could cause more problems. A professional will make sure everything is done correctly.

Dust: While you tried blowing it out, a service center can do a more thorough cleaning.

Warranty: If your laptop is still under warranty, a certified technician can help without risking it.

 

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
