How Do I Fix My Laptop From Overheating ?

Reasons For An Overheating Laptop

• Covered Air Vents: Laptops are designed in such a way that they can cool themselves through air vents. Keeping the laptop on a soft or uneven surface, be it a sofa, pillow, or bed, stops the airflow.
• Dust and dirt: The dust and dirt stop the fan from moving properly, and due to that, the laptop starts heating.
• Battery: If the laptop's battery is old or the thermal paste inside the laptop starts decaying, it causes overheating.

Ways to Fix The Overheating in Laptops

• Take a break: When the laptop starts overheating, you should keep it unplugged. Taking a break from work will give time to your laptop to cool down.
• Check the vents: Try to keep a check on the vents beneath the laptop. You can take a brush and clean the dust accumulated on the surface.
• Use compressed air: You can use compressed air to clean the vents of the laptop. It will remove all small particles that stop the fan from moving properly.
• Fan Settings: You can change the fan control settings of your system. You can either check the BIOS menu for the settings or download any third-party application.
• Flat surface: Try to keep your laptop on a flat surface so that the air can pass through. 
• Cool Rooms: Try to work in cool rooms or avoid heated rooms or working under the sun. That creates external heat, which gets mixed with internal heat, causing overheating.
• Cooling pads: Use cooling pads to help the fan to increase the airflow.
• Uncovered vents: Never cover the laptop's vents. If you are working for a long time on your laptop, remove all other objects close to it.
