Laptop is always over heated

Asked By Paul M Lucero 5 points N/A Posted on - 01/28/2015

Hi! My dell latitude 13 is always over heated in summers due to excessive use. But I cannot minimize the usage of laptop because almost all of my work is related to computer. So I bought this cooling fan for my laptop and heard that it would minimize the heating process. Cooling fan is much like a small table on which you place your laptop and connect your laptop with it via USB. The problem is that even after using the cooling fan, laptop is still over heated and sometimes it restarts automatically due to over heating which results in data loss sometimes.

Laptop is always over heated

First rule out that your computer is not having a hardware problem by running the Dell Online Diagnostics. Once this has been completed, ensure that your laptop has maximum airflow in addition to the cooling platform. It might also be helpful to slightly raise the backside of the laptop up from the cooling platform to increase the airflow.

Take note of the intensity of the system fan. If it is spinning constantly, download and update the BIOS.

Additional information regarding this issue can be found on Dell's website.
