okay so a few things...

the cpu fan the top 2 screws are kind of loose. I can't get them to screw into place. the bottom two are fine. Maybe this is what is causing the problem?

when I start the computer on its side the digital reading (I'm assuming its temperature) reads at 84-86. when I put it upright the reading goes from 29 to 69 to 89 and then immediately hits 96 and the computer kills the power.

is it the cpu fan that might be causing this??

suggestions on who to take it to get it looked at? would ncix be a good option? i want it fixed and back to me today or if an easy fix I will quickly try to do it myself.
