Now check the temperature if it is under 35 degrees Celsius or higher. If the temperature is higher, then your laptop is overheating.

Remove Dust

When your laptop gets older there are lots of dust inside the laptop. This dust cannot ventilate good air to the laptop’s fan so that, overheating occurs. You have to remove dust by yourself or a repair shop. If you are familiar with disassembling a laptop then you can easily remove dust by yourself. Otherwise, take it to a repair shop.

Put your Laptop on Hard Surface

Don’t put your laptop on a soft surface like a cushion or bed. Use hard and flat surface. Because of some laptop’s ventilating system is under the laptop casing. The hard surface can easily flow the air.

Use a Cooling Pad

If nothing is fixing your problem then consider buying a cooling pad. This will give you an extra cooling feature.

Turn on Power save mode

Power save mode can reduce the heating issue, although it’s a temporary solution for overheating problems.
