Alright. When I turned on my laptop today, everything started to run like shit. I had this laptop since 2021. Could this mean that its on the end of its life?

Alright tried cleaning the fans like two days ago. It didn't work. But for some reason the laptop started to run perfectly fine after a while for like two days. but when I booted it up, it started to run like shit. idk whats causing this, it might be how old my laptop is since I had it for 5 straight years
I don't know anything about computers. But I think that maybe some hardware didn't start up during the boot up. Just a thought, I do not know if that can happen.
like maybe a ram stick is having some issues
don't know if its the ram. Might be the gpu or cpu since when the computer starts to run like shit it I don't hear the fans, like if the fans stopped

Yea those two might be malfunctioning. If it starts running like shit again, look up a video on how to check if the hardware is running correctly.
