Heat Problems
Your notebook normally gets warm during routine operation.

If the Notebook Gets Abnormally Hot

■Always set the notebook on a flat surface, so that air can flow
freely around and underneath it.
■Make sure the air vents on the bottom and sides of the
notebook are clear.
■Keep in mind that games and other programs that drive CPU
usage toward 100 percent can increase the notebook
temperature.
