I am tired of my laptop.. Its always overheated.. Though, my laptop is fed up of me as well, cause i switch it off once in two days or so.. :P What should i do..?? Will this spoil the RAM chips or the battery, as these are near the heated areas..

You could disassemble your laptop do get to graphic card fan and clean it or at least blow some compressed air into it. It's easy job just a few screws on the back most of the time and if you have a complicated laptop to open you can find a tutorial. Your laptop will be quiet and cooler.

every laptop has a problem, like acer too the bigger, the most used of it the more it over heat. Sometimes give your laptop a break or if you switch it off make sure its cool. But when its really broke, buy another one or just pick the light one. :)

Hmmm... Light ones wont do the job, it might catch fire if i use it the way i'm using mine presently.. :P Switching it off periodically and using cooling pad are the only solutions it seems.. :) :)

Try setting up cooling devices like cooling pad into your laptop. There are also some programs which monitor the heat of your laptop and will eventually warn you of over heating. These are just short term countermeasures. The best thing to do is purchase anew one. Overheating of your laptop may be due to being old already.

Most probably there is some problem with your computer. I had a laptop that was really overheating and after a few weeks, it just went blank. You can have it checked.

When the weather is hot, it is easy for the laptop to be overheating. A good way to remove the overheat is to get a usb fan designed to place underneath it to cool it off. We have been using this kind of fan for a few years. You may give it a try, friend.
