I own an Acer Aspire Series 1600 and it seems to overheat or something after 2 hours use. I have enough air ventilation around it. I've heard of docking stations that have a couple of fans on it and that it seems to prevent this problems. Will one of those help?

Laptops overheat, I had this problem on my old one. Generally older computers are more prone to this. What I did was undid the fan grill underneath the computer and dusted out all the vents and fan etc as it gets so much dirt there. Also if u put the computer on your bed when you are using it, it stops the air getting in and sucks dust and cotton etc into the vents. Feel the bottom I bet it will feel really warm. If nothing else works it might be time for a new one.

It's definitely getting too hot - check that the CPU fan is working and that the heat sink isn't full of dust and gunk. It could also be the battery (loads of laptop batteries have recently been recalled by many manufacturers as they're overheating and in some cases even catching fire). The batteries are all made by Sony, so try a different brand if you can - the battery will still heat up even when connected to the mains. If you don't fancy taking it apart yourself, off to the nearest PC shop.

I have an Acer travelmate and it does this because it overheats due to blocked cooler vents, you need to clear these vents regularly (once every couple of months), underneath there are 2 fans over which is a panel, you need to remove this panel and gently remove the dust and hair that blocks the copper vents, and carefully remove the dust that collects on the fan blades as well. Make sure the power is off before opening up.

one possibility is that it has to do with your power option.Your system is probably configured to power off at that time. You can right click on your desktop - click on properties-click on screen saver and at the bottom right there is a power button,click on it and you will see your power options. If is is set to turn off after 2 hours well that is the problem. Also if you are going to use your laptop on batteries often it is wise to choose to choose the portable /laptop option in the power scheme. hope this helps,Good luck!

It could be the way your power is set up. Mine is set up to cut off after an hour of use and it get a little warm.

Beacause in the power options in control panel it has been set to either turn off after 2 hours of not using it or just turn off after that time altogether. if you open the window from the control panel page you can change or disable this option here.

I had this problem with a compaq , turned out to be a bad bond to the heat sink on the processer.
