Fixing Laptop Overheating and Shutdown Problem

Most of the people just use their laptop on any surface where they just get some comfort in, and believe it or not but that does cause something which leads your laptop to get overheated when every time you started it to do some work on it.

The whole process starts when you make your laptop’s Fan to breathe the bad air, because people just put their laptop on any bed or blanket where all the tiny pieces of broken fabric and dust got sucked up by the Fan and get stick to the heatsink.

If the above-given story looks like a case of your own, then its 99% possible that your laptop is really dirty from the inside and creating the heat which leads your laptop to shut down automatically in every 5, 10 or 15 minutes after the startup.

And those who don’t know, overheating do cause some internal damage too if it isn’t get fixed recently. I’m only saying this because shutting the hardware down direly is one of the major reason who causes a full OS breakdown and maybe sometimes damages the hardware too.
