I feel from last few days that my laptop is heating , in face its over heating as i can feel too much heat exiting from one of its side. I want to ask you how can i know that this heating is normal or is the laptop over heating. Can you suggest some ways by using which i can prevent if from overheating. I have heard that there can be problems in laptop if they overheat.

It isn't good for it to overheat. If you pay close attention, you will probably notice that it isn't running as smoothly when it starts to get hot.

One trick is to put something underneath it that will allow air to pass beneath it (instead of allowing it to sit flat on a solid surface).

Here's a super simple hack to try: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTs_4eeCdRM

If you don't have a large egg tray, you can use two smaller ones. You can also use those cardboard cup holders that restaurants give you to carry more than one drink. Just flip it upside down and set the laptop on top.

Buy a cooler! It will help a lot!

If it is getting heat then switch-off for a while and restart it again after 10 minutes and if it is continuing then you must think there is a problem.

Am I the only one who has a fan on my computer at all times? I found that keeping a fan around to cool it off helps a lot.

Or you could try repasting your CPU and GPU with a better thermal paste, odds are the thermal paste which is the paste used to seal the micro gaps between your heatsink and component are atrocious and lost its efficiency if you didn't touch it at all since you first bought the laptop. There are a few guides on the internet on how to do this, but if you are unsure it is best to leave it to the professionals.

I have overheating problems with my slightly powerful laptop. The CPU can touch 97 degrees when used for gaming DoTA 2 Beta in Ultra quality, 1920x1080. Although the computer managed to stay at 60 FPS throughout the whole game, I felt your pain too. my last thermal application was done badly and I need to redo it again ( I used the dot method but used too much thermal paste ).

Use air conditioner or electric fan beside to your laptop to keep it heating. This is my idea and it really helps.

[silverleafy]

use a airflow support , a pad , a good one and it will not overheat so mutch

[Vens]

Try to clean it. Maybe some dirt is blocking air exhausts.

I think that the best way to deal with an overheating laptop is cleaning the vents and make sure you are also using the laptop in a cool area with air conditioning if you are living in a hot place.

[vathsala]

The vents should be kept clean always without any clogging of dust and if your laptop is very old , use a mini fan always at either the back or the side which is getting heated of the laptop while you are working in your laptop . These are only temporary solutions . But It is strongly recommended to give it for servicing and your problem will be fixed once for all and your laptop lasts longer

I have the same problem before ,when i try to bring my laptop to a computer technician they suggest for entire cleaning of the laptop inside . so i let them do it and its been a year now that i do not experience my laptop is overheating.

[marciasfv]

By the way... Once I contacted Toshiba when I had my old laptop because it was overheating so much that it was always turning off. They told me to vacuum the fan and so I did. It ruined my computer completly. It never worked again! So be very careful if you wanna try that. Maybe you can do it but I wouldn't suggest doing it with the regular vacuum when you're unexperienced with computers (like me!)

[nerdonforumcoin]

I always feel the heat of my laptop. It is heating really bad. I have found a cooling fan that can be used to stop the heating. It looks like others are having a great experience with the cooling fan.

It depends if it is really overheating or it is just your personal opinion that it is too warm. If it is overheating, you can try to bring it to a technician so they can do a bit of dusting. I saw a laptop pad before that comes with a fan so maybe you can try to consider that as well. Also, do not try to put the laptop in your lap for too long, it is not healthy. Make sure you are using a a pillow or anything between your laptop and your lap.

[mgulfam002]

First of all find the source with your laptop from where air coming and by clearing it make air flow.
Second Unscrew the fan door and clean the fan with soft brush.
Third clean the dust under RAM and Processor.
Fourth use extra heat transfer fan to get rid from this issue.
Fifth to keep an eye on temperature of your LAPTOP use an application like Speccy.

[vuhj123]

Try to clean it, apply new thermal paste and get a cooler..

[domondon1]

you should rest your laptop if its overheating,or buy a cooler

[flipitup]

Give it a rest or buy a cooler. You might also consider having it checked by a professional technician if that wont cost you a lot.

[darkthorn]

Hello, first of all you have to check why it is overheating. Sometimes laptops overheat due to lack of air circulating inside of it, the main solution is to buy a cooler. On the other hand if you have to many tasks running on your laptop it overloads the processor and increases the heat, I had once a problem with it due to spyware running in the background.
You can also check the dust inside the laptop.
