An overheating laptop runs slow, gets loud, and can shut down suddenly. Here's how to bring the temperature back down and keep it there.
1
Move to a hard, flat surface
Beds, couches, and laps block the air vents. Use a desk or table so the fans can breathe.

Clear the vents of dust
With the laptop off, use a short burst of compressed air on the intake and exhaust vents. Dust buildup is the most common cause.

Check for background updates
Windows Update and cloud sync can spike the CPU. Let them finish, or pause them temporarily.

Raise the back of the laptop
A cooling pad or even a small book under the rear improves airflow and drops temperatures several degrees.

Tip: Occasional fan noise under heavy load is normal. Constant loud fans at idle usually mean it's time to clean the vents.
