You can try using compressed air to clean the fan, but it sounds like the fan has already become too ineffective to keep the laptop cool. The flickering on the screen is caused by heat buildup. As a safety precaution, the laptop will power off to prevent permanent damage. Try a chill mat. It may provide the cooling needed to keep the laptop on. If the flickering continues after using the chill mat, the damage may have already been done. Keep us posted.
