When I look at my computer I get thirsty, why is that?

Hi, nik\n I do this, too. Especially when I'm really not into what I'm having to write about. Also, sometimes if it's really hard to figure out what to write. I think, like Jane_Furrows\nsaid, I get writer's block, especially if I have a dead line on what I'm doing. So subconsciously, I do like Marianne said, and avoid it for awhile by leaving the room.   \n  I start thinking of ways to stall having to do it, I'm thirsty first, then I want a snack, then I go to the bathroom, etc. And it's probably what you're doing because you don't do it any other time, you said. So don't worry about it, lol, your subconscious is just playing a 'head game' with you. And it's prefectly normal. \n\nDid you know the 'average attention span' is 20 minutes?\n \nI found this hilarious; \n"Digital distractions like the web, can leave you with the 'attention span' of a golfish, nine seconds....lol \nnews.bbc.co.\n       uk/hi/english/sci/tech/newsid_1834000/1834682.stm\n\n  Good Luck, Nik\n          (smile) Now go do your report.

in most cases this is a sign that the air fan of the processor is not cooling it as it should. \n\n1. check that the air fan is working\n2. try to run the machine when the one of the covered lid is off- so there will be more cooling air

If you're not dying of thirst all the time and this rarely happens I wouldn't worry, I bet you'll be fine... If it gets worse and you notice it all the time and during the day then maybe you should take further measures to have it checked out..

Try cleaning it with a bottle of pressurized air before you go and buy one.  Also scan your computer for spyware, adware, viruses, and trojans, to make sure that your CPU is not being overloaded by malicious software.

Excess thirst, which results in excess water intake (drinking) is usually a sign of hyperglycemia (high blood sugar).

If you're using a laptop, your battery is probably dying or the cooling fan isn't working properly. You'll need to take it to a shop to get it cleaned properly - don't pop the case open yourself.\n\nIf you're on a desktop, you're probably overheating, either the power supply or the CPU. You need to open the case and blow out all the dust, especially around the CPU and fans, and make sure your fans are running properly, especially on your power supply.

There are several fans inside for cooling.  There is one on your processor (the actual computer chip inside), power supply and probably your video card.  If you are just beginning to notice it, there may be a cable or something that is brushing against the fan.  You might consider opening the case and just making sure nothing is rubbing.

I would say that you must have have a ton of applications running at the same time. One way to tell is when you start up the computer, do you have many (>4) icons on the bottom right bar? If you don't it could mean that you have viruses/trojans/spyware on your computer. There are a few fixes for this:\n\n- You can get a virus/spyware checker to help clean out some of this stuff but they can miss things.\n- Try to close programs running in the background.\n- The best way, however, would be best to backup your files (pictures/documents etc) and reformat the computer. This will make it as clean as possible.

So you decided not to pour water in your computer this time then? I'd say CPU gel is supposed to be squirted into a live electrical outlet, licked out, then placed over the eyes in a thick coating.

The temperature inside yourt computer is too hot, pls check your internal fans if they are working properly. This is bad and you can damage your processor permanently.

That might blow dust into your CPU.\n\nI do not think the performance of your computer is because of the fan. It is probably a coincidence.\n\nTry going into your task bar and see what else is running that might be slowing you down.

Try bringing up your Windows Task Manager to see if something is consuming your CPU.

Could be a variety of things... check to see if the cpu is overheating... it may turn itself off to prevent damage.  I would take it back though, it's new, they should look at it for free.

Go here, and scroll down: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/003218.htm\n\nSweating when not exercising or hot can mean your body needs to get rid of something. If you are also urinating and thirsty, it could be a symptom of diabetes. It may be a thyroid problem.\n\nYou should see a doctor if it was sudden and continues more than a few days. If you know a diabetic, test your blood sugar level with his or her test meter.

When you look at task manager is there a particular process that is using a high percentage ?? Also try msconfig and disable all start up items and see if you still have the high usage, if not then one by one turn them back on to see what makes an affect

More likely, your fan is bad.  If it was the power supply, you would notice more issues with the actual computer.
