What's Causing Cpu To Heat?
Just lately, when I've had my Sony PCV-RS520 on for about 5 minutes, it gets hot in the back of the CPU. It's the vented area at the top of the back of the CPU where the power sourse plugs in. I thought maybe it just might need a good cleaning, so that's what I did (with several cans of air), but it didn't help. I'm only using my computer now for about 5 minutes at a time when I really need it because I'm afraid of it crashing or damaging it. Do you have any ideas what is causing this so I can fix it? Thank you in advance for any help.
