Hello jee_90;


How hot does it get? It it how sitting idle, or only during hard usage such as playing a game?

 

[jee_90]

uhmm when im typing a document on Ms word, browsing the internet and when I play games just like solitaire. my netbook gets hot in just a short period of time like 15 to 20 mins after the start up.

Does it get hotter than it used to get doing the same thing?
Have you measured the system temps?

How old is it? Does the fan seem to work harder that it used to?
It could need a general cleaning of the cooling fan.

It looks like it's a hot running netbook. What you have is "probably" normal.
