My computer gets really hot, lags then freezes.

The computer works ok in the morning when I first turn it on.
Very quickly, it's hot.
It freezes.
I have to turn off is to cool.
I turn it off after each use.
I keep the computer plugged all the time as I (think) I'm supposed to.
I passed my 9-6 batteries... same problem.

Hi jeffsomersett,

If it gets really hot, quickly, while there may be a problem with the internal fan. As you mention "batteries", consider that he is abouyt a lapto rather than a desktop computer? When you turn on the computer can you hear a fan running? You're not by chance by blocking the ventilation holes that allow hot air to escape?

If you can hear the fan is running then the fan may have stopped working, anyway, you will probably need a PC repair shop to take a look. If it is still under warratny then contact the store delivers you from or by the PC manufacturer's support office. Without actually looking inside it is difficut to be precise about what is causing the problem.

    I have a blackberry 8520, I've had it for about 2 months now.  My blackberry battery gets really hot for the hour, the battery dies.  This happens randomly.  First time it happened to me I was in a movie theater and had the phone on silent. The second time it happened I he was wearing my belt and got home on fort.  I do not keep applications running and usually only use the phone for txts and emails. My fiancee bought his blackberry curve 8520 the same day and it has the same problem.  My blackberry is updated with the latest version of the software.  Anyone else have this same problem?  Any advice on what could be the problem?  Thank you

    Even if you do not, there was probably an application running in the background, even left a current Web browser.

  • Z5 gets really hot; I put in the freezer

    Guys my Xperia Z5 becomes really hot fast while browsing on the net and at the peak of the 48 Celcius I put it in the freezer for 15 minutes and my really cool Z5 until 19 C. But people told me that I should not do it again because of the damage. When I put it out of the freezer it is wet while defrosting, but it is impermeable to water right? The internal components will not be wet. So the guy don't you think I've damaged my phone? Is it safe to put it in the freezer?

    I personally don't have advice for a new attempt
    the instant change in temperature can damage your device, precisely this will kill the battery and you will need to replace it, it can also affect your CPU, so be careful.
    If you see that your battery is showing the percentage of false or ascendant percentage without recharge fast battery draining especially after reboot or... If your battery life is almost over and you will have to replace it in the repair center.
    Cheers...

  • My Vaio laptop gets really hot without good reason!

    Hello, my computer has been heating very quickly for no good reason, if I turn on my computer and it sitting idly... for 10-15 minutes my computer would be really hot. He went to the 70-80. even into the 1990s

    I put him on the wood or things that are not soft and hard, but despite this, it is still hot. All this happened when my computer has been returned by the repair shop Vaio due to a problem that had happened, however, I think that the purpose of this is because of the fan... She either is not working properly or is too dusty, or even perhaps the amount of heat... etc... Please I need your help, I can not clean! I'll need your help! I trust in you, my laptop Vaio costed me $ 1,000!

  • I'm afraid that my computer get too hot

    Original title: computer HOT!

    My computer feels hot to the touch near the fan, y at - it no way to fure the fan works properly, or a way to make it work better?

    My computer feels hot to the touch near the fan, y at - it no way to fure the fan works properly, or a way to make it work better?

    Assuming that the fan is running, it is likely that there are a lot of dust in the case. Buy a can of compressed air, open the case and take it outside where you have to blow off the dust with the can of air compressed.

    Do * not * use a vacuum cleaner, which can fry the motherboard with a discharge of static electricity.

  • NEW Macbook Pro, get really hot

    Hello

    I got my Macbook pro 15 "with 512 GB SSD and GPU AMD end of 2015 in about 3 weeks. When I watch Netflix with almost no other apps open, I can feel the upper keyboard keeps while it almost burns the hand. Is this normal?

  • 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.
