I personally have a Dell Inspiron 5100 laptop and it's kept turned on 24/7 and I don't have problems overheating my laptop except when (1) I accidentally blocked the cooling fans from circulating air properly or (2) when the fan in my laptop begins to fail.
The failing fan has happened before (which is why I'm mentioning it) and when the computer began to overheat, it would shutdown to prevent damage to the processor. While this happened, I purchased the Targus Notebook Chill Mat and it does wonders in keeping the laptop cooler while chugging along, doing video editing and publishing.
I recommend that if you have diagnostic tools, to see if your fan is functioning properly (that how I found out my fan was failing) and if failing, have it replaced or fixed. If you can't get it fixed or you you don't have warranty, I recommend getting the Targus cooler. It's worked for me.

Go to the Western Digital web site and download their:
WD Diagnostic program, when you run the diagnostic on your machine it will show your HD operating Temp.
Note: that downloading does not use much power. The cooler will help greatly.

i admire those from Belkin. they have a white/gray one and a black one. i think of one (or the two) of the colours additionally has a 2d sort which includes a 4-port USB hub on it as properly. you purely stick it into your USB port and its off and dealing. Its certainly nighttime and day for my pc with it on vs off. i take advantage of it a hundred% of the time. It provides purely a sprint of top for me (i might choose greater, yet its good sufficient). And it cools super (that's what I cared approximately greater). ultimate purchase sells them for particular. I think of alternative places do as properly, yet that's purely the place I picked up mine from.
