I have a hp pavilion g6 notebook and I have some questions regard heat and speed.
1. My laptop fan is always running at what seems it's highest setting and this is because my computer is always hot. I'm pretty sure that the system is slowing down the PC's performance to compensate for the high heat, however I'm not sure of it. Is this correct?
2. What are some factors that can contribute to an overheating laptop? Because as soon as I open my computer, with literally nothing open (I've disabled not necessary start-up programs) the fan starts at it's highest setting. I'm not sure if dust buildup in the fan can cause my laptop to slow down from 300 fps which is what I used to get to 4 fps which is what I get now (in games).
Thanks for taking the time to read
