How do I clean my laptop? - Always put the laptop on a firm surface (not a pillow, bedspread, etc) so vents are not blocked. - Consider using a laptop cooling pad for additional ventilation. Newegg.com - cooling pad for laptop - Install monitoring software to see real time temperatures for GPU, CPU, HDD, etc. Some free apps: Speccy HWMonitor If problems continue it may be necessary to have the laptop checked out by a professional repair shop.
