Re: My Laptop is Noisy and is HOT!!! Help!

A cooling base is a good place to start. It will probably add even more noise, but it will probably cool things down a bit :P

Have you tried using any monitoring software? Perhaps Everest or similar (lots of posts/threads about this and similar applications on this board) to see what the machine is actually doing? fan speeds, temps etc?

Unfortunately laptops are difficult to remedy with this sort of thing. They are, in general hot little things and are difficult to upgrade or swap out parts. The fact that yours is noisy is probably because inboard fans are running @ maximum speeds.

The fact that it is only 2 years old must surely be disappointing. Are there any other options such as a local technician able to have a look at it? Sure that may cost you some cash, but at least it may be manageable to keep your current install/apps.
