Computer to get very hot when you sit on your knees

I have a laptop that I had received that had Windows XP but I got a free Cd of Vista to install and we have installed. Know that it works fine, but it gets really hot when you have it on your lap. Y at - it something I can do to cool.

Overheating can cause sudden stops of your machine.

As this is a portable computer, you must make sure that the vents are regularly cleaned of dust, etc..

You may need to get a Tech to open upwards and clean on the inside.

Also make sure that the laptop is in a well ventilated area, not used on the bedspreads, blankets, etc.

You can buy cans of compressed air to clean computers at most computer stores.

And make sure that the fans are working properly.

See you soon.

  • My MacBook Pro gets EXTREMELY hot when you run Photoshop CC

    I just bought a new MacBook Pro 15 "retina and whenever I run Photoshop CC, my CPU fans start going crazy and my computer becomes so hot to the point where I have to leave Photoshop. I feel like it is about to begin to melt. I use the temperature monitor and rpm, fans SMC fan control and it to the top of the GET to 70 degrees Celsius and 6000 RPM. This happens to someone else? Is there a solution in preferences or whatever it is I do not know?

    This does not happen with any other apps CC, just Photoshop. Any advice or pointers are much appreciated!

    Thank you!

  • IPhone 6 display Cracked (?), turn on / make a comeback, gets very hot when load

    Hello

    Last night I dropped my phone pretty bad and he has apparently been broken. There is no physical cracks that I see on the glass, but the screen itself is cracked, and as soon as it happened, there were colors and lines going on everywhere. Finally she totally disappeared in the dark, but now not turn on or make any comments to indicate that something does not work. In desperation, I tried to connect to see what who would do, but he doesn't do become abnormally hot.

    Anyone think they know what the issue is here? I plan on it taking a Genius Bar tonight or tomorrow, but I'm afraid that it is not as simple as just a screen shot...

    Yes, drop the phone must have damaged some parts more inside the unit. But by getting only the phone tested on the Apple Store you will get more details on the repair options.

    I play games call iron man 3. I play 5 min, then hot. Sorry for the bad English.

    It's normal. Even with all devices, be it an Apple, Samsung and BlackBerry.

So that power to be fed, more electricity is used, therefore, battery will empty faster. As well the battery more quickly drain and increase the heat generated in the results of calculation and more

    I hope that Super Antispyware has given you the opportunity to remove those things. Since your initial Malware scan came clean, it is likely that located SuperAntispyware cookies only track, which are odious, but generally not a threat from System.

    It is possible that you have apps which unknown to you, that run automatically in the background whenever you start your program. It is good to check if they are legitimate and necessary to launch when you start your PC.

    Start button, click on you. In the run box, type: msconfig.exe

    A System Configuration tool runs. Go to the Startup tab. You will find a list of applications that are set to run every time your PC starts. If you recognize all of them, use Google to help identify their purpose. Many times, you can open the application that is in question and prevent the application from starting. For example, on my system, I see that Java runs once more a verification tool to update each time you start. In this case, I can set my preferences Java Panel, select Java and uncheck automatically search for updates.

    I also use OpenOffice and it wants to run a startup of service to reduce the time that openoffice requires to open. I don't really want something constantly running in the background to save me a few seconds to open the application. Then I go to Google to find out where the switch is to disable this "feature".

    If you have unwanted applications running in the background, it is best to either uninstall, our to disable the option that allows them to run at startup. Although you could definitely "uncheck" the application through msconfig.exe, it is essentially a tool of troubleshoouting and not intended for the struggle of the apps (even if you do).

    You can always uncheck/check again on this list to see their impact when you then restart your PC.

    Once you have verified that apps that are set to start, you can run Windows Task Manager and scroll elements in the process and Services tabs to see what is running. The Services tab can be pretty intimidating to investigate on (there is a lot of misinformation the ' net), so if you are unsure about the services listed, it is best to ask or to jump on this area.

  • iPhone 5 s, iOS 9.3.4 is very HOT when it is used with CARPLAY?

    iPhone 5 s, iOS 9.3.4 is very HOT when it is used with CARPLAY?

    Attempt to use iPhone 5s in 2016 GMC Sierra.

    The iPhone apps seem to work, but the phone gets very HOT.

    Same iPhone and GMC using only BlueTooth (not CARPLAY) works and is cool.

    Any suggestions?

    I have read reports on older iPhones running hot because of the processor being exceeded. Might be better if you checked him into an Apple store to be on the safe side.

  • My Satellite L350-171 gets very hot

    My Satellite L350-171 gets very hot and then stops spontaneously. When I pass it back on I can get the message that he has not closed properly and I want to boot into SafeMode etc.

    Does anyone else have this problem / solution?

    Solution?
    This isn't the latest model cell phone, so I assume it's pretty full of dust that blocked cooling grill and the cooling fan. In my opinion, you should clean it up to cooling system of free brand of SCT. After this laptop will be able to take a new breath and material can be cooled correctly.

    How to do this? On the internet you can find many pages and short films how to do this using compressed air. Google around a bit.

    Second option is professional cleaning. In this laptop case will be disassembled and cleaned cooling system. Of course, it is the best solution but must be done by authorized personnel only. Contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask how much it costs. It is perhaps not so expensive.

  • Satellite Pro A60 had been getting very hot

    My Satellite Pro A60 had been getting very hot (especially on the upper right corner).

    I also noticed for several months that the fan never stops and it very is nosiy.

    Is this normal?

    Thanks for any help you can provide :)

    Hi Jay,.

    Continuous fan activity high speed could well indicate that the dust blocks the heat sink. Try to blow through the exit gates to clear any dust or otherwise try to use a hose of household vacuum on the suction air grids.

    Your laptop will have a thermal trigger installed to cut the current if the temperature becomes too high to avoid any damage.

    Finally, make sure your laptop is enough space adjacent to the air intakes for the ventilation of air to enter.

    Kind regards

  • iMac getting very hot upstairs

    Hi all

    My iMac 27 "mid-2011, processor 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5, 20 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 memory gets very hot at the top.

    Ive tried the latest version of fan control MSC but who never opens a reason any?

    Anyone who could help I would be very grateful. Probably just me worrying a lot.

    Thanks to all in advance

    Simon

    Without the specifics of the temperature, it is impossible to tell if you have a problem. This vintage iMac have the exhaust port in the upper left corner, so it's natural for them to run hot. Unless you are having problems removing the fan control software that can cause more damage than good if not used properly.

  • Satellite A300D - fan turns very hard and the laptop gets very hot

    I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction as what to do with the overheating problem that I currently have with my A300D. I had the laptop for less than a year, it is still under warranty but I don't know where to go or what to do to fix it.

    The problem: about two months ago, I noticed the fan turns very hard and also the laptop gets very hot. Now it runs so hot the laptop shuts down completely. The heat being driven out of the laptop is so hot! burn your my infact.

    Anyone has any advice they could offer me.

    Thank you
    James

    Hi James

    You wrote that you have the laptop less than a year, so my question is this is already cleaned it?
    The laptop needs to be cleaned every 3-4 months and I do this every 3 months. Whenever I do I m wondering how much dust out and after this procedure the portable is a lot cooler.

    Here's an interesting article from Toshiba on this subject:

    Compressed air spray is really useful and you should check it out yourself! ;)
