An overheating computer is a malfunctioning computer. If your computer is operating at a higher- than-ideal temperature, it will not be at its most efficient. If the computer gets too hot, it will either shut down, or break. Gateway laptops are no more susceptible to overheating than any other computer, but will probably experience overheating problems at some point, regardless of age.
Avoid Overheating
Your computer produces heat as it operates. Although Gateway computers have a sophisticated and extensive heat-transfer system, all laptop computers are less than perfect at removing heat.
