You can see in the above picture the CPU core temperature reached 100℃ and that didn't happen normally. We were stressing the CPU to test the performance of this laptop for our "Review Video" and we found that after stressing the CPU for 4 minutes and 35 seconds the temperature raised to 100℃ and the frequency from a single thread we were getting was nearly 4.53 GHz.
And when we kept stressing the laptop like this for around 15 minutes,
the frequency level and performance was dropping significantly. Of
course, the temperature raised abnormally and the laptop was getting
hotter.
[N.B: Stressing will overheat a laptop, but for normal uses without
stressing it's not acceptable if that happens continuously]
So how to solve or stop a laptop from overheating itself or how to cool down an overheating laptop?
Look. in order to learn "how to solve or fix laptop overheating problems easily and effectively
for durable and stable performance", you must know what are the things that can cause these overheating
issues for your laptop.
If you can find out or figure out the reasons that are causing
overheating issues for the laptop, then finding the solutions will be
easier for most cases.
Firstly you must know that most of the damages in laptops' hardware happen
because of the laptops overheating. It also slows down the CPU and the
processing speed of the laptop.
So no one should overlook the
overheating issues that can narrow down your laptop's life cycle.
The Solutions or Tips for Fixing Overheating Laptops:
1. Keep enough ventilation space for airflow
Almost every
laptop has a ventilation space for airflow and has fans for keeping inside
of the laptop cooler blowing out the hotter air.
Find out whether your
laptop's ventilation space is at the side frame of the laptop or at the
bottom.
Some laptop also has both at the bottom and side frame.
So our recommendation will be to keep enough space under the laptop for airflow and don't put your laptop on a soft couch or laps or bed sheets where the space gets blocked and can't blow the heat out of the laptop's body.
Try to always use your laptop on a solid surface and keep enough space under the laptop for having an overheat-free laptop.
2. Don't misjudge your CPU capacity
It has been found that so
many new or irregular laptop users aren't concerned about the capacity of
their laptops.
Remember not every machine or laptop has the
capabilities of running so many apps or programs and heavy resources
simultaneously.
For instance, if you have an Intel Pentium processor-based laptop and
you're trying to encode video or edit video using Adobe Premiere Pro,
there's no doubt you're killing the CPU.
Cause if you give so much load to a CPU that it's not built for or
programmed for then it'll cause havoc. You must know what your laptop can do
at its best and what couldn't be done by it.
Just do the things wisely
for saving your laptop and keeping that cool. Don't try to run heavy
programs on your laptop if that's not capable of handling that.
3. Check background apps or programs
If your PC is working with
so many tasks and so many apps at the same time and there are a lot of
background apps running behind and you're not aware of that, just go to "Windows Task Manager" pressing CTRL+SHIFT+ESC at the same time.
After opening the "Task Manager" app we can see a window like the above where all the apps and background processes are shown, and you can see how much CPU power they're using and the total percentage of your CPU is being used, and how much memory or RAM is being used by each app or process.
Now you can sort these in terms of CPU usage or in terms of Memory or RAM usage. That'll help you to find which app uses the most power of the CPU.
Now if you want to terminate any apps that you're thinking causing stress
to the CPU but you don't need that running.
Just click on that app's name and look at the right side of the bottom of
the Task Manager window you'll see that the "End Task" icon is
clickable.
Click "End task" for terminating that app. It'll save your CPU power
and diminish CPU temperature.
4. Check CPU, HDD, or SSD usage
If you see that your laptop's
CPU usage is at 100% and it's getting overheated then it's sure that your
CPU is having a hard time for all of your apps that are in the use.
In
that case, close some apps for cooling down your laptop's CPU.
In some cases, laptops' HDD or SSD health doesn't remain in favor of multitasking or heavy usage. If you have an old HDD or SSD that's not doing well and you're not getting enough Readin or Writing Speed or Data Transfer Speed then check your HDD or SSD's health make sure it's in a good conditing to support the RAM and the CPU.
5. Low RAM or Memory Capacity
There are a huge number of people
who don't upgrade their RAM or check their RAM for being sure whether it's
enough for their regular usage or not. Nowadays 4GB RAM is not enough for
most of the common laptop users, and it really causes lag and slowing down
issues of laptops including overheating.
We'll ask you guys to use dual-channel RAM instead of having a single stick
and at least 8GB of RAM for backing your multitasking and heavy workload on
your laptop.
It'll give great support to the CPU storing you bigger
running apps and tasks for optimal performance.
