  1. My laptop is literally burning to the touch right now. Plus osu crashed under "texture corruption" which means it's affecting my hardware so um

        1. @redenchilada Wait, don't tell me there's no fans in your house.

          2. @kingofheroes We have a couple oscillating stand-up fans in the house but nothing I could put under a laptop.

            1. @redenchilada Remove the fan from one of those and put it sideways under the laptop.

              1. @kingofheroes The fan is in a round casing, it won't work.

                1. @redenchilada Put it in a box or make a wire support for it. Jeez you guys know noting about jury rigging.

                  1. @kingofheroes I don't have any spare wire laying around

                        1. @redenchilada But everybody does that.

    2. @redenchilada have you checked your vents? They might be blocked, or your fan isn't working like it should.

      1. @flamingpandaomg The fan is definitely running (pretty loudly at that) but I had it on my lap in bed so it might have been blocked by the bedding. This laptop has terrible heat management, though.

        1. @redenchilada Yeah, I'd try putting it on top of a completely flat surface, like a piece of wood. That bedding would definitely cause it to overheat.

          1. @flamingpandaomg I usually have it on a flat surface anyway and it still runs out. I guarantee you I know what makes the problem worse
