hot.
Make sure the computer is properly ventilated and the vents/fan intakes are not blocked. If
this doesn’t cool it down, put the system into Hibernate mode or turn it off for an hour.
Make sure the computer isn’t sitting on a thermal surface (see
). Make sure you’re using the correct adapter.
Make sure that your notebook is completely powered off before putting it into a travel bag

the vents/intakes to be blocked.
