Is my laptop sick? I'm scared. Help?

Question

For a very long time now, my laptop seems very sick to me. But I don't know anything about laptops. So I am not sure if it is sick. : (

It breaths very deeply, and very loudly too. It gets very hot, sometimes it hurts me!

I don't know what to do, and this is bothering me. Am I hurting it? Is it my fault? What should I do?

Why is my laptop like this?

OMG. Is it pregnant? OMG. Laptop babies: TOO CUTE!

No, but seriously: why does it make such loud noises and heat up?

Answer 1

It's air vents are probably clogged with dust (which means that the cooling system is having trouble keeping it cool).

Take it in to get the dust blown out and then it should be fine.

Answer 2

Could be the fan is not working right. It could be really really dirty.

In other words...your computer's @$$ os clogged and it cant p**p, therefore, its constipated!

So try giving it a laxative (or open it and get some canned air and blow out the dirt) and see if that help.

If it doesnt help, then call 911 - or any computer geek that you know!

Answer 3

Laptops heat up if they are left on 24/7 and laptops were not made to be left on for that long period of time. I turn my off every night before bed.

Also if it's make a lot of noise, that means either it's built up with dust or the fans and cooling system of the laptop are failing.

Answer 4

you could be using it too much..by which i mean causing it to heat up so much

as for the noises that has to be the fan..may want to get it cleaned out..
