Your Laptop is Overheating

You're working on your Toshiba laptop. You're feverishly with Photoshop,Dreamweaver, MP3,  all open at the same time. All of a sudden, your lap feels like it's into a toaster, hot and steamy. All of a sudden, you're wondering whether your body is really that combustible. No, it has nothing to do with  any mechanical activity in your body.  this means your laptop is overheating, and that it needs immediate attention.  Wanna know what causes your laptop to burn up?
Simultaneous use of Programs
For starters, simultaneous use of programs, cause your CPU and your hard drive to work overtime. So the harder your hard drive works, the higher the likelyhood of your processor heating up.

Using your Laptop in a Hot  Environment
Using in your laptop in a hot  environemnt also contributes your laptop heating up on you. I hope none of you do this, but please if happen to be near a radiator simply because it's freezing cold and you want to keep warm don't. That could also contribute to your laptop overheating, possibly starting an inferno in your home. Try getting a centralized heating system which should help you concentrate on your work.

Make and Model of Your Laptop
The make and model of your laptop could also cause it to overheat. This happens especially when there is not enough ventilation circulating in your laptop.  It's kind like your house. If there are not enough ventiliation outlets in your house naturally, it becomes hot.

Connecting External Hardware,
Connecting external hard ware such as dongles and external hard rives also activate the overheat alarm. I'm sure some of you are probably saying" you cant' be serious'. well, these pieces of external hardware put extra pressure on the laptop , causing it to overcompensate. Just make sure you dont use them for too long or else...

How Do I Keep My Laptop from Overheating?

Make sure you dont put your laptop on your lap. Place it instead on a cool hard surface. I know you are tempted to assume your laptop is meant for your lap,but think about it. When you put yourlaptop on your lap, you cut out  the ventilation underneath your laptop, causing it to cry for cool air.  
  • Also work on one program at a time. I know you love to multi-task, but your laptop can only do so much at a time.
  • Connect external hardware only when necessary. They are meant only as emergencies not permanent solutions
  • Make sure you are as far way from a radiator/heater as possible. Get a centralized heating system.
So as you can see, laptops have their limits just like we humans. When overused, they let us know about it. So go easy on your laptop and  get a cooling pad.
