Hi everybody ,
My Dell Laptop base is heating badly I mean you can cook an Omlet that bad .
Pls suggest me how to reduce this overheating.
I showed to technician he said you got to replace the fan.I have a doubt how could replacing a CPU fan can reduce heat which is caused by Motherboard.The half portion of laptop burns right from fan area to mid area of laptop .
Please help me .
 
Solution
The laptops get heat from their gpus, hdd or cpu.
Have someone to completely remove any dust from the inside of your laptop and yes check if the fans are working properly inside.

An interim solution could be using a cooling fan. If a laptop is running hot, or any device for this matter-Do not continue to use it on your lap. This could be harmful to yourself and may cause the laptop permanent damage as it will not be receiving airflow.

if it is seriously that bad I would recommend powering it down immediately until you find a solution.

Possibly the installed fan is no longer working?

If the cpu fan was bad the laptop would be shutting down. You can replace the fans over the gpu and cpu with better ones but it's a pain. Most of the heat is probably coming from your gpu. If your playing games on it then it's normal get a laptop cooler to lay it on.
