You could have looked it up:
https://www.cnet.com/products/acer-aspire-v5-121-0430-11-6-c-70-4-gb-ram-320-gb-hdd/specs/

It's a 7 year old budget notebook. Likely either 7 years of heat has taken a
toll on some heat sensitive component, or dust accumulation is _causing_
overheating that might be overcome by a cleaning. Maybe it has a fan that quit,
or a battery that can't keep up with need.
