How to Keep Your Laptop from Overheating
Many laptops overheat because the fan on the bottom is blocked, and the hard drive then quickly fails. By using one (or all) of these methods, you can keep your laptop cooler and running efficiently.
Elevate the laptop. Put a small book or item (like the docking station for your iPod) under your computer's battery when sitting at your desk. This slight tilt allows a lot more air to flow under the laptop, keeping it significantly cooler. Ensure that the book is not blocking the bottom fan hole.
If a book doesn't help, you can try something more uneven. Try sticking four sockets from an egg tray on four corners of your laptop. Either you can stick them with a sticky tape/masking tape or use hook and loop tape for flexible design.
