Hey all, I have a hardware question. I have a laptop that might be overheating, the reason I say MIGHT is because I don't really notice much of a performance hit when the computer starts to get hot (yes burning hot).

My system BIOS (which cannot be updated any further), does not actually list a core temp, or anything else that has to deal with the measurement of the software.

My question is, since the heat seems to come from the BOTTOM of the system, does anyone know of a type of hotplate (basically i would put the system on the plate and it would give me a readout on the temp) that I could use?

I would personally like something that interlinked with the system in some way, since I am a computer programmer I was thinking I could make (or even download if programs exist to shut down in cases of extreme heat) a program that shut down the system when it reached a certain temp.

Any advice would be helpful.

Please do not answer with advice on how to solve the overheating problem, as
