Heat is a major problem in all laptops! Laptops now being built with dual, triple, quad processors internal heat is even more of a problem. They really should not be called "laptops" for they cannot, should not be used on your lap period!
Laptop/Notebook Overheating:
98% of laptops only have 1 cooling fan, gaming laptops usually have 2 cooling fans. Poor internal cooling design, manufactures poor quality thermal compound on the CPU & GPU breaks down overtime, combined with dust build up that blocks internal the exhaust vent off inside of the laptop. About 12 months or so right after warranty runs out your laptop begins to run hotter, soon after now operating constantly in overheat temperature zone. Long term overheating will shorten the life of the laptops hard drive, and damage the laptop completely.
Laptop Overheating Symptoms:
The laptop starts beeping, freezes, restarts by itself or shuts down after it has been on for some time. When it does shut down on it's own, if it has overheated the laptop will not power back on maybe for 5 or 10 minutes until it has cooled down. IF the laptop starts back up at all! If you start it again, it does the same thing after just a few minutes. A blocked dirty laptop fan will usually produce a steady loud noise, or periodically. This is the reason your laptop sounds louder than it use to as it gets older.
Most laptops overheat because the fan intake is blocked either from placing the laptop on a soft surface (your lap or bed) or by internal blocked exhaust. Sometimes overheating is caused by a fan malfunction. If the fan is completely stuck, the laptop will show an error message immediately after starting. Rubber "feet" on botom of laptop wear down, which means no air circulation underneath the laptop.
