Laptop Overheating

There is no one cure for an overheated laptop or notebook. The cures are as varied as the causes.

All the same, here are some options for getting your portable computer to return to a reasonable level of functioning.

Options to try include cleaning the laptop fan and vents that move cooling air through the computer, elevating your notebook so airflow from below is not blocked, using a notebook cooler or "chill pad," changing the computer settings or using special computer cooling software that helps prevent computer overheating from occurring.
