If your laptop overheats, then this can lead to the most disastrous consequences, up to a complete rejection of work. After the release of the Pentium Mobile model, laptops with Intel processors are equipped with less energy-intensive “stones”. In addition, in the BIOS settings there is the possibility of an emergency shutdown of the device in case of processor overheating, that is, the laptop overheats and turns off. It seems that laptops are protected from critical overheating. But there is no such protection that can give a one hundred percent guarantee, and constant overheating can significantly impede work.
What to do if the laptop overheats? When the fan is running continuously, background noise may appear in the laptop, which is a bit disturbing. In addition, the fan should not spin excessively fast, as this may damage it. Typically, the fan is embedded in the BIOS, so you can set its settings by setting a constant mode of operation or on demand. If the settings were set correctly, and the laptop does not stop overheating , and at the same time the noise of the running fan is constantly heard, then you need to clean the cooler. It is used to cool both the processor and the graphics chip. In laptops, he usually draws in cold air from under the bottom, giving it to the back or side of the device already hot. The laptop overheats sometimes due to the large amount of dust that it sucks in.
This fan is not at all difficult to get to. It is necessary to disconnect the laptop from the network, remove the battery, turn it over, and on the bottom find a grill made in the form of a square. If you blow in the direction opposite to the side of movement, and dust appears from under the bottom, then you must definitely clean the fan. This is convenient to do with a vacuum cleaner. Set it to minimum power, attach the hose to the grille for 10-15 seconds. You need to do this periodically, while your laptop must be turned off. If after such cleaning the fan still works constantly, then you need to check the BIOS settings again, since you could make a mistake in choosing the mode. In addition, you need to pay attention to the location of this lattice, since the whole thing may be that it closes during operation.
Sometimes the laptop overheats due to the fact that it does not have a special system for cooling. If the clearance between the table and the bottom of the device is very small, it will be very difficult to access cold air inside, which often causes overheating, and the fan will always work at high speeds, which is very annoying. In this case, the purchase of a special laptop stand might be a good option. There are stands with or without a fan. The first type of stands is connected to the laptop via a USB interface, they have one or more fans for cooling.
If what was suggested above does not help you, then there is another option: you need to change the thermal grease. It is a substance that is designed to improve heat transfer from the processor to the cooler. It dries out over time, and its functions are greatly degraded. At times it needs to be replaced with a new one. This is not a complicated, but very responsible procedure, so only an experienced user can do it on their own. In addition, if you do it yourself, you can lose the free warranty service.
It is important to remember that the laptop can overheat during prolonged use with increased load when performing some complex tasks. The reason why the laptop is overheating may be its constant operation from the network, and not from the battery, since at the same time the components operate at maximum power, which entails adverse consequences.
