Overheating laptop
This is my second laptop and it's overheating almost all the time. it really pisses me off because i always have to be on the lookout for when it's going to get too hot and shut down or something.
is there something i can do to reduce the overheating problem?
btw it's an hp pavillion dv6000. the fan is in THE WORST place ever. it's almost under the laptop...so i pretty much understand why it's overheating.

I have one of these chill pads for my laptop. It helps alot. Also make sure you turn it completely off when not in use that gives it a break from the heat. It will help to preserve your computers internal workings longer.
Here's a link, but there are all kind of these this was just a cheap one I found. You can buy them at Bestbuy or your local computer store.

Set it on an elevated surface with something, like a book for example to keep the air circulation under it. Don't let it sit on any surface like a bed or tablecloth it can't breathe properly. They sell extra fans for computers if you can find one to fit yours. When you are not using your computer also make sure to adjust the power settings so that the computer doesn't always run. I recommend setting for the screen to turn off after 15 min of non use, and hdd power down after 30. You can also change the setting of the fan on your computer and make it run more or less, check your power management settings(energy star settings). If you need anymore instructions on how to do any of these things, let me know and I'll give more detailed instructions.
Hope it helps, maybe you just got a bad fan or a lemon computer...
