The time is 2:12 AM and I am getting no sleep.
I have my laptop in front of me and I have been browsing the Internet past four hours. The laptop is getting hot, its processing power is dropping down and is running slower than usual. It will certainly shut down for no reason after sometime. Before that, a deathly blue screen appears (has happened quite a few times), signifying the over-heating of CPU. The laptop becomes very hot to touch in certain areas, and finally the machine shuts.
What do I do when it starts overheating?
To ensure that the air is circulating underneath the laptop, I have made two stacks of books. Each stack has two books about the height of three centimetres. I have each stack kept below the leftmost and the rightmost edges of the rear-end of the laptop. In the front-end, I have an empty match-box kept underneath the touch-pad buttons.
Whew. Now it has adequate ventilation to cool down. The applications are running smoothly.
