is it true that computers absorb the summer's heat?

Are you using your computer in a cool environment? (aka an air conditioned room) If you are then you should be fine. However, computers are suseptible (sp) to the heat. If you are using your computer without proper air conditioning and cool conditions then your computer can suffer heat damage. The fans in there rely on cool air from the outside environment as well in order to keep the internal parts cool. If the outside temperature reaches above 80 degrees the computer will start to slow down and overheat. Overheating can cause the motherboard to warp and the CPU to burn out as well at the other components inside. A Computer CPU can generate a high degree of heat as it is so yes heat CAN affect a computer. My advice is use your computer in an environment 75 degrees or cooler to ensure that the internal fans keep the inside cool as well. Hope this helps you out.

Hi I'm Garry,\n\nThis will certainly make you feel better..\n\nI have an acer travel-mate 2.2ghz Pentium 4 Intel and man it gets so hot beneath that when I put  my hand on it  beneath I can't hold it there that's how hot it gets..\n\nThere was the time where I used to seriously worry about it but then I figured out that it's just the way it is.. the cooling fan runs faster when it detects the main board over heat..\n\nSo to answer your question... Don't worry, it's just the way they are built, because they are so compact they tend to heat like this.\n\nNothing is going to happen to your laptop when it heats up, notice when you are over working it like downloading heaps and using other app's at the same time the fan kicks in at a higher Pace, so it doesn't over heat.. these things were meant to with hold this much heat my yahoo friend..\n\nDon't let it get to you as it drove me mad at one stage.. \n\njust make sure none of the vents are blocked and trust me there is no need to raise it off the table..\n\nIt will be perfectly okay\n\nSimply wishing you the best of luck,\n\nGarry\n\nP.S\nFeel free to contact me regarding this subject or any other, I am always happy to help.

being on the computer all day and having your hands in an akward possition. maintaining stiff hands. ironing, putting hands in hot then cold water often. it sure can

I think there is some problem with your fan. I am using computer in bangladesh without AC and sometime in summer I run my computer for 3 to 4 hours without any problem. Consult with your vendor and if you are covered with warranty claim co change your CPU fan.

I assume you mean Dualcore. \n\nYes, they do generate additional heat but the fans keep the chips at a safe operating temperature.

the computer has a fan to keep the heat down, right?  So maybe the fan doesn't work?  I can't imagine how the computer was functioning if the touch pad was that hot though. Take it in.

yeah i really love summer heat! no, you can use it immediately that's how the purpose of it.

i think it is because of the heat it generates. I could be wrong but that is my answer.

Yes.\n\nThe body cools itself by evaporation of perspiration from the skin.  In dry air, perspiration evaporates rapidly causing a cooling affect but in humid air, perspiration evaporates less quickly so you don't feel as cool.  You'll feel warmer at the same temperature in a humid climate.\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humidity#Effects_on_human_body\n\nIn it's simplest form, the "heat index" attempts to capture this property of perceived temperature by factoring humidity and temperature into a single value.\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_index\n\n\nSome of the weather services such as Accuweather have devised ways of expressing the perceived temperature that include multiple factors including: "ambient temperature, wind speed, solar intensity, humidity, precipitation intentisty/type, elevation, and atmospheric pressure".  The purpose of this is to try and include all factors that might affect how we perceive temperature.\nhttp://www.accuweather.com/iwxpage/adc/help/pr_realfeel_pr.htm\nhttp://wwwa.accuweather.com/company.asp?page=about\n\nWeather.com has their "Feels Like" temperature rating which is similar.\n\n\nOf course, there are situations where it is so hot that it doesn't matter about the humidity.

No computers work BETTER in the cold.  In the early days they all had to so air conditioned you keep beer cold

Yes, it warms and cools in cycles.  I question the word "billions" but yes, it warms and cools and mankind has nothing to do with it.  It is a political power grab and someone is getting a lot of grant dollars for their "studies".

endothermic because it takes in heat.

summer time causes more swelling - the heat & humidity, ya know

it does, but that is why we sweat to try and keep our temperatures down. and that is why if it gets to hot, and we dont keep ourselves cool, we can get heatstroke and some poeple die

Make sure air is getting into your computer by means of many fans.\n\nAlso, while I have worked on customers computers, they have never had their computer cleaned out the entire time they have owned it. They get dust bunnies and "dust buffalos" in computer. Any dust getting on, in or around the CPU can cause it to over heat. If you know what you are doing, get a can of compressed air and clean out your PC yourself. If you don't, have a professional do it.\n\nMy computer will reboot sometimes as well, but that is when I am doing too much on my computer and my room is very hot.\n\nGood luck...
