An overheating laptop can throttle performance, cause random shutdowns, and shorten the life of your hardware. Common causes include clogged fans, dried-out thermal paste, blocked vents, or demanding software. I diagnose the exact cause and fix it on the spot.
Here's my typical approach to laptop overheating fix:
Check CPU and GPU temperatures with diagnostic tools
Clean dust and debris from fans and air vents
Replace dried-out thermal paste on the processor
Check for runaway processes consuming excess CPU
Verify cooling fan operation and replace if faulty
Recommend a cooling pad or usage adjustments if needed

Most common causes: dust clogging the cooling fan, dried-out thermal paste, blocked air vents from using it on soft surfaces, or software running the CPU too hard.
Yes. Prolonged overheating can damage the CPU, GPU, battery, and motherboard. If your laptop is regularly shutting down from heat, get it checked soon.
Fan cleaning and thermal paste replacement typically take 1-2 hours. I handle everything at your home.
$10 up-front diagnostic (waived if you proceed with repair), $50/hr (1-hour minimum). Most overheating fixes cost $50-$100.
