Default Re: Laptop Problem - Alienware I think its overheating

Is the computer kept on a hard surface while turned on? Using a computer while it's on your lap/bed/chair/carpet/any soft surface can block airflow.

You can also put some 1-inch blocks (or smaller) on the 4 corners of the laptop to lift it up and allow for more airflow. I think some people have also had success with laptop pads.

Have you ever cleaned the inside of your laptop with compressed air?
