Is the notebook overheating?

It is normal for the notebook to feel warm to the touch while it
is in use. But if the notebook feels extremely warm, it may be
overheating because a vent is blocked.
If you suspect that overheating could be causing the problem,
unblock the vents and allow the notebook to cool to room
temperature. Then be sure to keep all vents free from obstructions
while you are using the notebook.
CAUTION: To prevent overheating, do not obstruct the vents. Use the
Ä
computer only on a hard, flat surface. Do not allow another hard
surface, such as an adjoining optional printer, or a soft surface, such as
pillows or thick rugs or clothing, to block airflow.
The fan in the computer starts up automatically to cool internal
components and prevent overheating. It is normal for the
internal fan to cycle on and off during routine operation.
