Decreasing the heat of my cpu

Good day all,

The fan of my Toshiba Satellite 3005-S307 starts every less than a minute; my laptop rear is quite heated;

Is there a way to cool down the cpu?

I just stumbled into http://www.benchtest.com/amnhlt.html
I'll see if any of those applications can help but still would need your advice.

Thank you

 

Hi,

I would probably suggest to at least get the dust cleaned out.

I don't expect it would have been so hot when it was a "fresh system ", so I would be wondering what has happened in the mean-time.

Check in Task Manager, is the CPU dropping back to idle condition during periods of no activity? Is there reasonable Physical Memory available? It is not using page file on a regular basis? [I am sitting here watching my second computer idle with Task Manager open...CPU is 0%, page file is a steady 159MB, although I try to minimise any background activity]

What programs are running in the background?

Is the graphics doing a lot of work, which will cause heat for the other components?

Good drivers for the main hardware, like chipset drivers (Intel call them INF updates), graphics drivers, audio... Check the downloads at Toshiba for your model.

Run some online antivirus checks (which should cover Trojans as well) and run a second antispyware program occasionally. Could there be any "badly written" programs running?

Rather than finding a program that will treat the symptoms, I try to find the cause of the symptoms.
