Hi Everyone,

Hope all are doing great!

My concern is that I have a gaming laptop [https://www.lenovo.com/fr/fr/d/gaming/pc-portable-gaming]. Whenever I play games, it starts heating up and blowing a lot of warm air. It's new, but I don't know why it's happening.

Should I upgrade my laptop? As I have followed some troubleshooting steps like:

Check for dust: Over time, dust can accumulate in the laptop's cooling system, which can hinder the flow of air and cause the system to overheat. Try cleaning the vents and fans with compressed air or a soft brush to remove any dust.

Adjust power settings: Adjusting the power settings on your laptop can help to reduce the amount of heat generated by the system. You can try reducing the screen brightness, turning off unused features, and enabling power-saving modes.

Close unused applications: Running multiple applications simultaneously can cause the system to overheat. Try closing any unused applications or processes to reduce the load on the system.

Use a cooling pad: A cooling pad can help to dissipate heat away from your laptop and keep it running at a cooler temperature.

Update drivers: Outdated drivers can cause various issues, including overheating. Make sure to update all drivers for your laptop, including the graphics driver and chipset driver

Check for malware: Malware can cause your system to work harder, leading to increased heat production. Run a malware scan to ensure that your laptop is clean.

I am wondering if anyone else has encountered a similar issue while using playing games on a gaming laptop? If so, have you found a work around or solution?

Thank you for your time and attention.

Best regards
