    How would you go about diagnosing a problem like that? happens mostly when watching video. Tried raising it off the flat surface so there's a good 3 inches between it, made little difference.

    Try opening it and dusting it off?
    Try turning off processes you don't need at start up?

    Maybe you aren't using hardware acceleration on linux. That can be hard to diagnose and fix.

    Try a different video player maybe? SMPlayer seems to work well in general.

    If your laptop is old, getting hot decoding high def video will just be a fact of life.

    I cant take apsrt my own laptop.


    Also, it started bowing right away in the middle so it dented down and i just hope it doesnt eventually stop working because it got bent so bad that it broke or snapped somehow.

    I always use it on my lap 89% of the time and i know you arnet supposed to do that but i dont care

    I hang it out the window for 10 minutes, it usually helps.

    .

    start by scraping all of the cum off of the back and keyboard. cummies are an excellent insulator[1]

    if this doesn't solve the issue you'll have to put I've cubes in it while it's running somehow. that's the only way to fix it bro

    There's a 3-speed fan setting in the bios. "Fan always on" should be selected. Usually F1 on bootup initiation to access the setting.

    p.s Your fans are probably full of crud.

    This. Changing the thermal paste is like magic.
