  1. Check laptop temperature – Use a program such as Core Temp to monitor your laptop CPU temperature and to ensure it is functioning within normal operating levels.

  2. Check for malware/viruses – Ensure your antivirus software is up to date and running, scan your laptop for threats, and delete any malicious software found.

  3. Clean your laptop’s fans – Clean out any accumulated dust and particles from your laptop fans, vents, and heat sinks.

  4. Adjust the fan speed – If your laptop has an adjustable fan speed setting, try adjusting it to a slower speed (or disable it if possible).

  5. Check the power settings – Make sure your laptop is set to the correct power profile.

  6. Upgrade your laptop’s cooling system – If your laptop has poor natural cooling, consider purchasing additional cooling accessories such as laptop cooling pads, cooling stands, and extra fans.
