It's a laptop. I couldn't find a hardware monitor in the BIOS. Also I
can't find the 'acpi' command, not even with apt-file.

I opened the laptop and cleaned the fan's airduct. Then the laptop was
stable for many hours.
But. Before going to sleep, I activated a 3D screensaver. When I woke-up
the laptop had powered-off again.
When using glxgears, the CPU cores' temperature skyrockets very fast,
and the fan becomes very noisy.
I missed something, something I didn't clean. Do you think I can resolve
this on my own (I am abroad), or should I pay a technician when I get home?
