Is there a way of keep your laptop cooler after 2-3 hours use? It keep turning itself off, why?

Answer 1

There are numerous ways to keep your laptop cooler. Changing your environment, checking your equipment, adding devices to cool as previously posts have said.

The first question, is why would I need all that stuff if I just repaired the issue? The answer is you wouldn't, so fix it right the first time and prevent further issues.

As to why it keep turning off, There are a few manufacturers such as Dell Laptops that have come my way from some very "hot" clients. I don't know which was hotter, the laptops or the "dude, I just bought a Dell from Hell."

Dell actually had a recall for this particular case. You can find info on it from the Dell website. I know there are issues with 2 other manufacturers from repairs I have done, but they haven't posted anything on their website. They have either repaired under warranty, or just replaced the laptops that I have sent in for free.

The reason why it shuts off is thermal temperature is monitored and most laptops, not all, are designed to shut off before it does iron your jeans/slacks/skirt.

Answer 2

Computers can have a threshold set in the system bios that tells it to turn off when it reaches a certain temperature.
Since you're asking this question here I will assume that you might not know about bios. If you do I apoligize and will be happy to give you pointers, just email me through here. Changing the system bios temperature threshold on laptops is usually more risky, if even available on some models. The reason is the manufacture sets the temperature to protect the laptop from thermal issues. Changing it past that setting could cause the cpu or motherboard to burn out.
Another thing you might consider is what is causing it to get hot. Do you ever hear a fan starting and stopping, or running at all? If not, you most probably will need to replace the cpu fan that helps keep it cool. If it does work, they do sell laptop trays that have fans in them and are designed to help draw the heat away from the bottom of the laptop. I've seen them at Best Buy for around $30.

Answer 3

When computers get too hot they shut off automatically to avoid CPU burnout. If u r using it in a normal environment and it happens all the time there might be something wrong with ur fan(s). Most laptops have a diagnostics software that can detect that sort of problems. If u dont have one, contact the manufacturer and ask for it.
If it is not a fan problem, u can keep ur laptop cool by using a notebook cooler which is a pad with built in fans to put the notebook on. Just search ebay or google for notebook cooler and u will find it.

Answer 4

I believe that this is a bad design for heat management. I have to put an object beneath the computer to keep my 5150 running without shutting down. A while back (about two to three month ago), I received a letter from some lawyer saying that someone filed a class-action lawsuit, and won. So, every 5150 owner can have their 5150 fixed for free. Can someone confirm this story?

Thanks.

Answer 5

you rather could desire to make the attempt to get in touch with Dell's help. or you haven't any longer have been given a lot concepts different than dropping you funds on slightly defective kit. From what you're describing and insurance that it incredibly is not any longer a screensaver/capacity administration appropriate situation, it incredibly is maximum probable a failing hardware problem. I even have additionally bought a Dell Studio 1555 at present and that i'm able to understand your frustrations as i do no longer think it incredibly is likely one in each and every of the terrific products on the marketplace. you additionally can decide to invite them approximately your 3 years prolonged guarantee and why it incredibly is asserting that your guarantee has expired. we live in a international the place we ought to stand up for ourselves. So ***** and insist as much as is mandatory to get the job executed. no person else will do it for you.

Answer 6

well I have the same prob
Usually I just stack it between two books to allow the fan much needed 'fresh air'
The problem for me is dust gets into the fan so every so often I take my laptop apart n clean it out and its fine for a bit.
However there are cooling pads ( u can get them on ebay for a tenner) it about an inch or so thick and powers via usb to cool your laptop.

Answer 7

Is it a Dell? If so, you may want to check to see if there have been any recalls on the motherboard. Mine went bad after 6 months of use - shut off on its own, etc. I thought that it was overheating, but that wasn't the problem at all.

Answer 8

If u r working in tropic, it may be due to room temperature. If u reduce the room temperature, it should work fine. Even then it repeats the problem, get the system cleaned and connection checked. May be the fan has conked off.

Answer 9

Is it a Presario? This was a known problem with some models a couple of years ago. Maybe you should contact the maker's customer service team.

Answer 10

Maybe it is one of those Dell or Sony computers that have been recalled because of battery problems. Check it! Better to automatically shut down than burst into flames yes?

Go to Control panel, performance and maintenance and check your power options, maybe it is set to shut itself down.
