Hi,

You need to clean it.

y would cleanin it make it go at normal speed?

When blocked the fan isn't running efficiently, the laptop heats up more so the thermostat tells it to run faster, this also creates more noise. It is crashing because the fan cannot run fast enough to keep it within an operating temperature, the dust is stopping the air ventilation too.
