Prevent Your Computer from Overheating

Make sure your computer has free space around all sides and that nothing is blocking the cooling fans. Computer cases are built to achieve maximum cooling efficiency and blocking just one of the fans greatly reduces the cooling effectiveness of the case.

Avoid placing the computer next to heat sources such as heaters or other hot electronic components.

For laptops make sure the cooling fans are not blocked. Consider purchasing a laptop cooling pad if the laptop constantly gets too hot.
