Check the usage environment
Avoid using the computer on a highly heat retentive surfaces (e.g., rubber pads). If possible, use the computer on surfaces that can

Always keep the display open in sleep.
Check the following
If the computer becomes warm while the screen saver is displayed, set the screen saver to [Windows Logo]. Screen savers that use
3-D images or other complex images increase the CPU utilization rate.

Use recommended RAM module products. Non-recommended RAM modules may not operate properly, and may cause damage to
your computer.

Use the settings “To conserve power” shown as below.
