Laptop Overheating

Overheating laptop

Gaming desktops and laptops can easily overheat, and this often signals potential damage. The fans are designed to keep your computer at the right temperature, but dust and pet fur block the vents over time. When that happens, your processor and graphics card run hotter, which leads to noise, system crashes, or even a shorter lifespan. To avoid overheating problems, schedule a professional fan cleaning every three years. If you have pets or smoke indoors, it is best to clean more frequently. Fix My Laptop Brisbane can help keep your device cool, protected, and running at its best.

Clogged laptop fans

What Causes Overheating?

Dust blocks vents and makes your laptop hot and noisy. Overheating can cause crashes and shorten its life. We can clean and service the fan to keep it running smoothly.

Overheating is one of the main causes of premature computer failure. Components such as the processor and graphics card generate a lot of heat, and they need proper cooling to run reliably. Even if the outside feels fine, heat can build up inside the laptop very quickly.

When vents become clogged with dust or pet hair, airflow is restricted and temperatures climb. Parts can overheat to the point where they literally burn out. Modern laptops will shut down once they reach a critical temperature to protect themselves, but repeated overheating shortens their lifespan.

Laptops are more vulnerable to this problem than desktops because of their compact design. Keeping the vents clean and the fans working properly is the best way to protect your computer.
