How can we keep our laptop computer cool?
The fan on our laptop computer always turns on. Even elevating the bottom keyboard doesn´t help to keep this computer cool.
What else can I do?
I presume it wasn’t always like this so it may well be that the path of airflow is blocked due to a build-up of dust and hair.
Try blowing hard into the outgoing vent to see if you can dislodge any build-up. You may find it will help a little, but ultimately, you’ll need to strip the laptop in order to completely remove the blockage.
If you’re lucky, it may be as little as two screws, but if not, you may be better taking it to a professional.

How to format a hard drive on a Compaq laptop computer?
I have a compaq V5000 Laptop computer> I have a virus. I was told to restart the computer. Once the start screen comes up to keep hitting f10. I was told this would take to the restore screen.When I do this it just takes me into my bios.I was wondering if anyone knows how to format/restore my computer back to factory settings? Thanks.
Ive had some pretty nasty viruses before and i had to reinstall my operating system. During re-instalation, it should prompt you on what you want to do with your hard drive. One of the options would be to reformat your hard drive which would erase every thing including your virus. To begin installation (im asuming the op is windows) insert your setup disk or backup disk and press F10 to get into your bios. Then go to the boot section and set the boot device priority to be in the order of your CD/DVD drive first, then hard drive. Then save the changes and exit. This will continue the start up of your system but before it gets to Windows, you will see lettering on your screen that says "Press any key to boot from disk…….." and then press a key.
You will see the Windows set up start and just follow the instructions and directions and you should be fine.
WARNING: you might want to make back ups of the files you need like papers and pictures because they will be erased with the Hardrive formating.
How do I pick the right laptop computer?
I’m looking to purchase a laptop computer. Just me and the wife will be using it(no kids allowed) Just your basic home entertainment use, not for work. I dont want to buy more than i need, but I also want it to be able to perform anything I ask it to do. Any suggestions on how to go about narrowing the list?
From working in retail, I’ve heard this question a lot of times. Always check the specs. If your not sure what they are, a quick Wikipedia search or howstuffworks will quickly make you an expert on the subject.
Go to computer stores, and ask lots of questions, but mainly opinions. Tell the person at the stores you visit what you will use it for, and what they would purchase in that situation. Read reviews on models that you like see if they are all you are lead to believe they are. From my experience, the most reliable manufacturers are Toshiba, Lenovo, Asus and Apple.
From what you describe, I think a basic Macbook Pro 13" would be more than enough. They are easy to use, they have tons of home entertainment software installed, and are immune to all PC viruses with very little maintenance needed.
What’s wrong with my laptop computer when it shuts down while playing online videos?
My laptop shuts down while playing online videos. I don’t understand the problem. It seems like it’s too much for it to handle, but the computer is a good quality hp model that’s only a few years old.
Sounds like it maybe overheating. Are your fans running? CPU sounds like it maybe getting hot and shutting down. If you have a can of compressed air, see if you can blow some air through your vents and heat pipes. You might have some blockages.
Is that the only time it shuts down, during intense CPU loading?
Is it advisable to leave my laptop computer up and running for over 12 hours a day?
What is the advisable running hours of a laptop computer?
Not a problem at all. Mine is on 24/7 because I receive a high volume of email that is routed into my Incredimail.
And no, I am not on the computer 24/7; just the computer is on. It hasn’t effected our electricity bill as far as we can tell.
Just make sure that you have a really good firewall, antivirus, and that your wireless network is secure. Otherwise you can run into problems.

My laptop computer does not seem to recognise my external hard drive. What should I do?
I connected my external hard drive to my laptop computer, but the laptop does not seem to recognise it. But when I connect it to another computer, it is recognised. I believe the problem is with my laptop computer. What should I do?
If the USB where you are plugging the external drive is working with other devices such as mouse, webcam etc then it could be a problem either in the drive enclosure or a driver (if OS is Windows 9x/Me) or kinda like a restriction on the mass storage drivers (you need a registry hack and file ownership on this problem – common in corporate environment).
Some drive enclosure requires two usb ports to work properly so check that out too.
