My laptop produces profuse amount of heat and I wonder what could be the cause? Apart from the use of a laptop or notebook cooler pad what else can one do to check and control the intense heat being produce by the laptop? Are there any safety precautions to be taken with respect to these conditions especially in a situation like this very one?
Hi Heat production is very much serious problem in laptop. It may cause a injury to you. Heat may be depend on model to model. Some manufactures used good fans to control this heat. But preventing heat is impossible. If your laptop heats too much then it may have a impact on performance of laptop. Don't use laptop in sophisticated area.
Hi, Craig!
 First of all, it is normal that laptop if used, becomes hot. But, when a laptop heats up too much, there are a couple of reasons you should take in consideration:
1. The ventilation shaft is full of dust. In this case, it blocks the flow of air through the components. It would be recommended to make sure the ventilation shaft is completely cleaned by using a can of compressed air and applying it in the ventilation shaft when the laptop is not running and do not cover the fan.
2. It might be a small probability that the cooling fan is not responding well with the CPU's frequency. A laptop's CPU does not stay on full frequency all the time, but rather it adjusts itself accordingly to the usage. So, the fan adjusts it's speed according to the CPU's frequency.Â
3. If you want to reduce laptop's temperature, I would recommend an active cooling pad with at least two fans so that the air flow distribution would be more efficient on the entire surface of the laptop. It does not matter which model you buy, as long as it has more than 2 fans.
 If you hear a noise, it must be the hard drive. Taking in fact that it's the only mechanical component in the laptop, then you must know after a period, a hard drive's plates would deteriorate, creating an instability inside its case, thus making a sound every time it is being used.
