Why is my Dell laptop getting too hot?

Your Dell laptop may be getting too hot because of a faulty graphics card, outdated graphics card drivers, or dust trapped in the cooling fan. 

• Faulty graphics card
• Outdated graphics card drivers
• Dust trapped in the cooling fan of your laptop
• Dust trapped in the graphics card slot and RAM slot
• Incorrectly seated graphics card
• Faulty speakers

 

As mentioned above, the laptop is likely to get too hot also due to dust trapped in the graphics card slot and RAM slot, an incorrectly seated graphics card, or faulty speakers. 

 

Faulty graphics card

When a graphics card installed on your laptop has gone bad, the laptop tries to signal the owner by getting heated. The only way to fix this problem in case of a faulty graphics card is to replace the graphics card with a new one. 

 

Outdated graphics card drivers

When the drivers related to your laptop’s graphics card have become outdated, the graphics card is unable to run properly, and the computer starts overheating. You can fix this issue by updating the graphics card drivers installed on your laptop. 

 

Dust trapped in the cooling fan of your laptop

When dust clogs the vents of your laptop’s cooling fan, the computer cannot dissipate the heat and starts overheating. You can easily fix this issue by cleaning the cooling fan. 

 

Dust trapped in the graphics card slot and RAM slot

When there is dust trapped graphics card slot or RAM slot, the laptop cannot read the graphics card and RAM. This causes the laptop to get very hot. You can solve this problem by pulling the graphics card and RAM out from their respective slots and cleaning the slots. 

 

Incorrectly seated graphics card

When the graphics card is incorrectly seated in its slot, the laptop cannot recognize the card and as a result, starts overheating. This issue can be fixed by removing the card from the slot and putting it back in until it makes a clicking sound. 

 

Faulty Speakers

When your laptop speakers have gone bad, or the laptop is placed in a congested space, the computer may become too hot. You can fix this issue by getting your laptop speakers replaced or placing your laptop in a well-ventilated area.

How to stop a Dell laptop overheating?

You can stop a Dell laptop from overheating by replacing a faulty graphics card, and updating the graphics card drivers that have been installed on your Dell laptop. 

Cleaning the cooling fans, graphics card slots, and RAM slots, properly inserting the graphics card, and keeping the Dell laptop in a well-ventilated area can prevent overheating.

1. To replace a graphics card, you can either send your laptop to a service center of your laptop provider or you can order a new graphics card and replace it yourself.
2. To update the graphics drivers installed on your laptop, go to the Device Manager and select the Display adapters option. In the left-hand menu, you will see the list of drivers installed on your laptop. Right-click on the graphics card drivers and select the Uninstall option. 

Go to the official website of your graphics card provider and enter your laptop specifications. Download the compatible drivers. Right-click the downloaded file name and select the Run as Administrator option. Wait till the graphics card drivers are successfully installed. Reboot your laptop and see if the overheating stops.

1. Clean the cooling fans of your laptop by using a blow dryer to remove any dust trapped in the cooling fans. 
2. Clean the graphics card and RAM slots by taking out the RAM and graphics card. Take a fine brush, dip it in cleaning alcohol, and gently clean the slots. Put the graphics card and RAM back in the slots and ensure they are properly seated.
3. If the graphics card is not seated properly in its slot, pull it out and put it back in. Gently push it downwards, so it gets firmly seated and held by the clips.
4. If your speakers are causing an overheating problem, place your laptop in a well-ventilated area and stop playing music or video for some time. Check if the overheating stops. 

 

Dell laptop overheated and won’t turn on

Your Dell laptop may be overheated and won’t turn ON because of excessive overheating, cooling fans clogged with dust, or memory slot issues. You can fix these issues by cleaning the fans, letting the laptop cool down, and reinstalling the memory sticks into the slots in your laptop.

1. Clean the cooling fans by using a vacuum cleaner at the slowest speed to pull out any trapped dust. Use a microfiber cloth or a fine brush dipped in cleaning alcohol to wipe the fans and clean the remaining dust. 
2. Keep your laptop turned OFF and place it in a cool and airy room and let it cool OFF to resolve the issue of excessive overheating. Try to turn it ON and see if it turns ON.
3. If you think the RAM is causing the laptop to overheat, pull the RAM out of its slot and check whether it is of the capacity supported by the laptop. In case it is incompatible, replace it with a new one.

Dell laptop overheating and shutting down

Your Dell laptop may be overheating and shutting down because of heavy tasks being performed on the laptop or outdated graphics card drivers installed on your laptop. 

Suppose you are working on multiple tasks that require high energy or playing high-quality video games or high-definition videos.

4. Update the drivers on your laptop by uninstalling them and downloading the latest version from the official website of your graphic card provider. To do this, open the Device Manager and go to the Device Drivers option. Look for the graphics card drivers installed on your laptop and right-click on them. 

Select the Uninstall option and follow the prompts to uninstall the drivers from the laptop. 

Go to the website of the graphics card provider and enter the laptop specifications and the specification of your graphics card. 

Download the latest version and double-click the file name to install the drivers on your laptop. Restart your computer and see if the problem persists.

Why does my monitor keep disconnecting Windows 10?

The reason your monitor keeps disconnecting in Windows 10 is because of broken or loose cables or a faulty or corrupted graphics card driver. The system can also disconnect because of overheating. 

If you have kept the monitor on for too long, it will face trouble while cooling down. To save itself from frying up, it may either go into a power save mode or disconnect. If overheating is a problem, try to limit your work hours.

 

Also, here are a couple of methods that can help you resolve the issue:

 

Uninstalling The Driver [Method 1]

1. Press the Windows + X keys.
2. Select Device Manager.
3. Double-click on or expand the Display option.
4. Right-click on the listed driver.
5. Click on the Uninstall device option. 
6. Tap on Delete the driver software for this device.
7. Select Uninstall.
8. Follow the on-screen steps.
9. Restart the laptop.

 

Upon restart, you should install the graphics drivers from the computer manufacturer’s website.

A third-party app may also help you with your installation needs. The app allows you to automatically install the drivers without going through the manufacturer’s website.

 

Disable Hybrid Sleep [Method 2]

1. Press the Windows + R keys.
2. This step will open the Run command (the Run dialog box).
3. Type control panel.
4. Select Ok.
5. Choose the Power Options icon.
6. Go to Preferred plan.
7. Choose the Change plan settings link for the plan you’re currently using.
8. Select the Change advanced power settings
9. Expand Sleep.
10. Click on Allow hybrid sleep.
11. Select Off for both options.
12. Click Ok. 
13. Restart the laptop.

 

This step will resolve the issue. If it doesn’t, it may be because of an issue in the monitor itself. You should get it checked by a technician or arrange for replacement (if the monitor is old or nearing the end of its useful life).
