Inspiron 1318 gets overheated

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
My laptop's fan gets loud at times, and the bottom of the laptop can get pretty hot. What can I do about this? Is cleaning out the heatsink the only thing that will help?

That, and a notebook cooler, and a multitude of other things I'm sure ppl will barrage you with on here soon enough :P

That is a good start and applying new thermal paste. Software clean up like defrag would help as well.

cheers ...
