How 2 Avoid Heating Problems in Laptop...!!!

Laptops tend to overheat more due to their smaller size than the desktop versions...


If your laptop cooling fan runs continuously with noise then its a sign of overheating.
Note that this overheating is internal and cannot be felt outside. So if outside is not hot then it does not mean that there is no heating problem...Here are some five steps to avoid overheating problem in Laptops.




1. Always use your laptop on a tray, desktop, or other cool surface. If you use it on your lap, make sure clothes, or bedding are not blocking the case vents. Blocked vents are the number one cause of laptop overheating.


2. Adjust your BIOS settings. Most laptops have features built into the system BIOS that allow fan speed, CPU temperature alarms, and other settings to be adjusted. Read your owner's manual to learn how to enter the BIOS and change the settings for your particular laptop model.


3. Use a commercial laptop cooler. A laptop cooler pad is an external USB powered fan that serves as a base for your laptop. If your laptop generates a lot of heat, even with a clean cooling system, a laptop cooler will extend the life of your laptop.


4. Clean the cooling fan exhaust system. The cooling or CPU fan is located on the side or back of the case. A closed CPU fan vent keeps hot air trapped inside the case. Use an aerosol air duster to loosen the debris, then use a vacuum cleaner with crevice tool to vacuum out the dust and dirt.


5. Use an aerosol air duster, or can of compressed air, to blow dust from the air intake vents. Air intake vents are a set of slots on the side or bottom of the case that allow cool air to flow into the laptop.
