The laptop is a Pentium 75 and does not seems to warrant a overheating situation. Or does it??<br />

Has the laptop locked up when running programs? Have you noticed any abnormal behavior from it? Alot of laptops have a fan on them like what is in a car. It only turns on when it reaches a certain temperature, cools the machine, and then turns off automatically. This is normal. Any problems like I mentioned above, please let us know.<br />

pkrska...you might try using something to elevate the laptop off the desk or whatever i may be on...this might help and it might not...I had &nbsp;P75 laptop and we had to keep it raised up between 2 books to keep it off the desk because the &quot;hot&quot; air was not leaving the machine/cpu.<br />

We have a Compaq LTE 500 (not a 5000!) - and a typical Beige colored docking station. Lately it has been overheating even though it has a fan on the laptop and a fan in the docking station.<br />
Sometimes the fans seems to turn off even though the unit seems hot.<br />
Any suggestions on a fix or a way to cool the laptop? Does the fans go off automatically for a reason?<br />
Anyone else with this problem.
