When the CPU gets too hot it slows itself down. Blow dust from the vents with compressed air, use the laptop on a hard flat surface, raise the back with a stand or cooling pad, close heavy programs and update drivers. Loud fans after cleaning, or a very hot base, mean old thermal paste or a failing fan that needs service.
Key takeaways
- Dust and soft surfaces cause heat.
- Hard surface, stand or cooling pad.
- Close heavy apps.
- Service for failing fans and old paste.
