Your computer should have at least 4 inches of space to the rear or your computer, with no clutter,  loose paper, walls
etc. to block the flow of air.
       Keep the top and rear of your monitor clean and free of debris.
       Twice a year clean the inside surfaces of your computer. Computers open in many different ways. Usually you depress two spots on the top and bottom of the computer and pull it open. Some computer you must unscrew two screws and take off a side of the computer. If you have any difficulty with this, please see you technology person. Do not vacuum. Spray a cloth with water and wipe down the inside.
        A can of air should be used to clean the inside components.
