Laptop heat dissipation question? I have read over and over again that if you for example place your laptop on your bed or pillow whilst you're working on it then since there's little to no ventilation this causes your laptop to heat. true. It's also stated that this shortens the lifespan of your notebook. The question is why is that? What is it about the heat that shortens shelf life? (I know CPU speed greatly reduces).
What can I do about my heat-stricken laptop? I left my laptop in the car last evening. It was warm, but I did not think it was hot. When I removed my laptop later, it was very warm to the touch.

I removed the battery for 30 minutes or so. It works fine!! (I did this before you answered, so this question is effectively answered)
should i worry that my laptop heats up to 65 deg. celsius when it is idle? i downloaded coretemp and it reports that my laptop's temperature averages at 65 celsius when it is idle. When i am scanning for viruses or running media player, it heats up to an average of 75 celsius and sometimes peaks at 80 celsius.

Laptop's inner heat? Hi, I had been using my laptop for about some years, so repairs and damage are unavoidable. But what I am frustrated is that every time when my laptop is down or spoiled, the repairman will always say ''You had been using your laptop for too long.'' But I need to use my laptop to do work. Desktops have some kind of fan type heat seperater to push the heat out of the CPU, but laptop do not possess this kind of fan thing but it seperate the heat by using the bottom part of the laptop to transmit the heat out of the laptop. I heard that there are some kind of instrument that can seperate the heat from the laptop faster. Are there any of them available in Singapore? Or are there any methods to reduce the laptop being heated to spoil? What about settings to do on computer or software to reduce the heat? Please do not have ''Buy a new laptop'', ''Use more lesser'' or ''Use a fan to cool it'' solution.

Laptop Display becomes choppy when heat sink fan starts? I have purchasaed a Dell latitude d800 laptop, 1GHz processor, 1 GB Ram, NVidia GeForce 4200 Card (64MB). When i start laptop evey thing works fine. The Heat sink fan is not running, however, other fan is running. But when i play some game ( like virtua tennis) or play 2 or more movies simultaneously, then its heat sink fan starts after sometime with high speed, and keeps on high speed for approx 5 sec more and then runs slower, andthe display suddenly becomes choppy, however audio runs fine. The display stays choppy unless i restart the laptop. The heat sink fan is still running but on reduced speed, and the laptop display doesn't becomes choppy, even if i play game etc. However if room temp is high the fan again starts running on high speed causing display to become choppy. I am very sure that i have installed exact driver since only 4200 driver installs and card mode is 4200. The laptop is placed on wooden smooth table surface. Is it due to dust in heat sink....??? Any suggestions?? The laptop is "Second Hand" but in good condition and it is not repaired before

Laptop Battery Performance and Heat Loss? I have a HP Pavilion dv2000. It gets uncomfortably hot when I'm running it from AC power. A friend of mine says that once the battery is fully charged, the AC adapter, instead of transferring power to the battery, creates heat. He also claimed that charging a full battery reduces its use/lifetime/charge. Is this true? The computer also seems to run "slower" when it's on battery power. My games lag on battery, as opposed to AC. Normal? I've heard the stories about Sony's batteries catching fire, and obviously a hot computer is concern.

I have laptop heat and shut off issues? ok... I have a HP Pavilion zv5000 laptop. Biggest issue is power loss randomly and shutting down. The bottom around where the 2 fans are will sometimes get frying pan hot almost... but the fans are working. Also I have noticed that the power adapter/charger will get just as hot too. But with the charger plugged in to the wall but laptop not powered on it is cool as a cucumber... why is that? Mainly what I want to know is... any opinions from people with experiance in this area on what could be the cause here would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! actually... this laptop is being used without a battery. Just the power charger adapter being plugged in. the laptop stays on a desk with clearances all around for breathing and underneath is about an 1/8" clearance off the desk no visible dust build up is seen but I just blew it out and a lil bit of dust came out but hardly enough to cuss a cat over. Could my problem be the power adapter/charger getting so hot? I don't have the battery for this laptop. I got this used from a friend and worked fine for the past few months until now.
