Is the heat making your laptop act up? 🌡️💻
Slow, freezing, randomly shutting down - if your laptop has been behaving strangely during the heatwave, it’s not a coincidence. Heat is one of the most common causes of mysterious tech problems, and most people never make the connection. The good news? There’s plenty you can do about it. ☀️
Here’s what to watch for:
🔴 Laptop running slower than usual
🔴 Unexpected crashes or restarts
🔴 Fan spinning loudly and constantly
🔴 Device getting hot to the touch
And here are your quick wins:
✅ Lift it off soft surfaces - duvets and cushions block the vents
✅ Blast the vents with compressed air to clear dust
✅ Close unused tabs and apps to reduce the load
✅ Keep it out of direct sunlight
✅ Use a USB cooling pad for long working days
