my laptop burns

[Sheikah42]

hp pavilion zd8000

sometimes it gets so hot i burn my hands.

i was told to get an air-spray can to clean out the vents for dust, so i'm gonna go get one.

lately i've been putting gatorade bottles in the freezer and taking them out and putting the bottle on where it heats up the most. but this gets annoying after awhile. does anyone know of like anything more efficient i can get?

any other suggestions?

Pot holders?

when your using it are you on a hard flat surface or something else?

hard flat surface

the vents don't have anywhere to pump the hot air then...they make spacers with fans in them that you can buy but all i'd do is get two narrow objects that don't roll...and put them under the laptop to give "air" room under the laptop

Yeah, replae it if its under warranty. Otherwise, try eBay.

I don't care what company makes it, if it is getting so hot that it bruns your hands, then there is definitely something major malfunctioning inside.

Be careful.

My zd7000's motherboard burnt to a crisp because I was overloading the CPU for like, hours on end, and there was something blocking the vent.
