Description

My laptop occasionally seems to be overheating.

Resolution

Intel® Turbo Boost Technology opportunistically accelerates processor performance for peak loads and it does not sustain the turbo frequencies. The processor usage depends on the applications used in the system. When the processor usage is high, the temperature of the processor also rises. Intel® Processors have built-in thermal protection. If the processor gets too hot, the built-in protection slows down (throttling) and eventually shuts down the processor.

Contact the system manufacturer to understand the system’s normal operating temperature range and to report unexpected behavior of the system.
