SOLVED: KEDAI REPAIR LAPTOP PENAGA | DELL INSPIRON N4010 OVERHEATING

5Computer OVERHEATING symptoms and solutions❗

Had I not been so focused on my ideas I probably would have seen a few warning signs that were definitely pointing at where this whole thing was going.

» 1. Too hot for your lap

I should have realized that having the laptop on my lap whilst sat outside was not an ideal situation for my computer’s ventilation.

Solution: Make sure your computer is well ventilated. To safely use laptops in your lap, think about getting a Lap Desk.

» 2. Fans running fast and making noise

Even before that day my laptop’s fans had been making lots of noise, meaning they were struggling to keep its insides cool.

Solution: Keep your computer out of direct sunlight. Check with your supplier for advice on keeping unwanted dust out of your computer, to ensure your fans are able to operate effectively.

» 3. Struggling to perform basic tasks

Programs were just not running as smoothly as they normally did, everything took longer to open.

Solution: Close all unused tabs in your browser. Collectively they can be a real drain on your computer’s processing power, and cause unnecessary heat.

Ensure your computer isn’t infected with Malware by performing regular system scans and continually updating your anti-malware solution.

» 4. Pixelated lines across your screen

My screen looked strange. It was like streaks or tears kept appearing on top of each window. Now I know that it was my graphics card OVERHEATING.

Solution: Make sure your graphics card is in working order, is getting enough ventilation, and isn’t overworked.

» 5. Crashing and powering off

Unfortunately for me, this symptom was ‘game over’. The dark screen and powering off meant my hard drive had already failed.

Solution: If you’re lucky, and your hard drive hasn’t completely failed, leave your computer turned off for a while, until it completely cools down. Then start up and find the cause for the OVERHEATING.

What you need to do when your laptop OVERHEATING?

» Bring your laptop to the nearest computer shop to do INTERNAL SERVICE❗

Prevent overheating: Sometimes your laptop appears fine but does not cool internally; this can be for various reasons like low level heat sink, fan not working, clogged air filters, etc. Regular laptop conditioning service will make sure the unit is always running smoothly and all these problems are caught early on.
