Often times when you turn the laptop on, it will give you an option to go into the BIOS. Usually its like F2, F1, Delete, or F10 once in the bios you can visit the hardware monitor to check out your temperatues. If youd ont know how to get there... download speedfan (google it) and see if that can show you your temperatures.

In terms of opening it you can often find upgrade guides on the manufacture's site. Because a can of air is only $3 or so and you can blow out a LOT of dust.

you could also buy a laptop cooler. its a pad that raises the laptop like 1/2 inch and has fans that suck the hot air from the bottom of the laptop and channels it to the back to keep the laptop cooler. i use one and its great.

I have a question about the Laptop cooler. Does the cooler fits all laptop or do you need to find the right size for your laptop...also, what kind of cooler would you recommend me , cause I think of buying one but don't know which brand/type is good.

yeah i remember having the same prob..i went to the technician..he just suggested like what awdark suggested..i bought an air duster for like 3 bucks to keep it cool n clean..n he suggested that to get my laptop cleaned and it's abt $25..

i am angry of myself because i can’t move forward unless i hide my feelings
i just realized that when i meet you i can’t just close and throw my heart away
