| I have a Compaq Presario 2223us Notebook, which isnt even a year old, and overheats constantly. I can hear the fans running, but they dont seem to help. No matter what I do, my computer shuts itself off within an hour. I know its ovee heating because I backed up all my files, formatted my hard drive, and did a fresh install of windows. Does anyone have any advice to help reduce the overheating? Also, I'd prefer a method that didnt include me spending much money (or none at all  ) Anyways, thank you in advance!

| Get a fan, aim the fan at the laptop and raise it off the desk slightly. I've got a presario myself but i've never had problems with it, always had it on a hard surface etc. |

| LOL! there is a product from targus (i think) that is a fan base for ur laptop, but if the vents are clogged, that won't help. Which reminds me, make sure you don't have anything clogging the intake/output vents

| I know about the fan base,(my uncle bought one for his new laptop) but the cheapest i can find it for is $30-$40, but I really cant afford that at the moment. Also, I had a fan aimed at my Laptop, and elevated my laptop slightly, but it didnt seem to help at all.

| I would, except I use it on a daily basis for school(I go to year-round). If not for that, I would have Compaq fix it.

Did you get it from a store? Like Best Buy? Talk to them, maybe they can do you a loaner or SOMETHING while yours is being serviced. Or use the machines at the public lab for a week - these things don't take forever you know. You gain NOTHING by putting it off, and stand to lose the entire laptop.  Trust me on this - my brother overheated his laptop recently, it was out of warranty. Lost a memory slot. Dell wanted HUNDREDS to fix it, and in the end it was simpler to just write off the memory slot and get a bigger stick of RAM for the other slot. Of course it WILL eventually get worse. It's like a car - I know people hate computer/car analogies, but let's be reasonable here. If your car is overheating you don't "keep using it because I need it to get to school". You take it to the shop and hitch a ride for a few days. |
