Hello.
I'd say this might be a hardware problem rather than malware.

Moving to hardware forum.

Hey, I have seen this problem many times, 9/10 times it's a over heating issue.

To fix it just clean out all the vents , (you don't need to dismantle the laptop, but if you want to be thorough I would)

Use cotton buds or something, I personally use a needle to pick out the dust , but if you use a needle just be carful not to go into the vent to far!. then after the thick is out, and rest is loose just blow it clean.


Remember in most laptops, there are vents on the bottom, sides, back , and top (around keyboard)
