Hi this is a common issue for the asus X540U due to the laptop's "small heatsink" for the gpu and processor (yes they are only small chunks of metal with no heatpipe. i suggest cleaning it out and replacing the thermal paste will help too. this will help only a little.[br]

The most stable way to fix this problem is to make a custom heatsink for this. [br]
