Over Heating Issue And Its Prevensation
One of the most common issues with
aging laptops is overheating, something many people aren’t sure how
to fix. We’ll help you figure out what’s causing the heat and how
to keep your notebook functioning at a lower temperature.
Overheating computers can cause a lot
of problems, from seemingly random blue screens to data loss. You
might not even know that it’s the root of your issues, and before
you know it you have a burnt-out motherboard on your hands. Let’s
go step by and step and see how to deal with overheating computers.
We’ll be dealing primarily with laptops, but most of the same
principles apply to desktops as well.
Find the Heat Source
Air Flow and Heat Transfer
The first thing you need to do is
figure out where the heat is coming from. No air flow means no heat
transfer, so figure out where the air vents are. Are they blowing hot
air, or is there barely a breeze, even when the fan is overtaxed?
Most commonly, an accumulation of dust
in the vents and fans through the cooling channels will be culprit in
restricting air flow. Cleaning it out will work best. Turn you laptop
upside-down and look at what you’ve got.
Unscrew the fan doors and you should be
able to lift out the fan and clean everything with a can of
compressed air.
If you find that a fan is spinning
erratically, you may want to try lifting the sticker off of the axle
and putting a drop of mineral oil to keep it going.
You can also try to look up the part
number from your laptop’s user manual or by searching your laptop
model number online. Once you have that, you can find replacements
pretty easily on eBay and the like.
Dying Batteries
There are plenty of different types of batteries, and many different schools of thought on battery maintenance and life span, but one thing that seems pretty unanimous is that batteries aren’t meant to be stored at 100% or 0% capacity. I know plenty of people who buy laptops and always keep the charger in, never actually using the battery. You can definitely expect to kill your battery’s health this way, since you’re essentially storing the battery when it’s full. Bad batteries don’t just give out really quickly, they can generate heat. You can buy replacement batteries pretty easily online, even for laptops that are four years old. You just need to know what model your computer/battery is. If you can’t find one, you may consider using your laptop as a desktop and remove the overheating battery completely from the equation.
Persistent Overheating
If you’ve taken the air vents and battery out of the picture and you’re still having problems, then you might have a more persistent heat issue. Sometimes a dusty hard drive can cause heat problems and data loss. Some laptops just “run hot,” even without a major load on the CPU. Try cleaning out these areas as best you can before you move on to another solution.
Dust under the processor and RAM doors to get rid of any dust and debris. If you’ve got a netbook or a laptop without compartments underneath, things might be more difficult. You should be able to find instructions for getting the back off so you can clean things properly.
Precautions for heating issue
- Clean system from outside at least once in a week and inside at least in 6 months.
- Check Thermal Paste in two year gap.
- If the age of laptop is more then five year then once change Heat sink Set.
- Check RPM of exost fan in 3 months once.
- Don't use laptp on bed.if you are using in bed make sure keep some distance between bed and laptop.
- Use Cool pad.
- Don't use high end softwares.
- If needed increase RAM.
By following these steps we can resolve over heating issue.
