Why is my computer getting so warm?

Why is my computer getting so warm? After 30 minutes of use, the laptop is very warm on the bottom and is uncomfortable to have on my lap. What's going on?

"Use your laptop on a Hard surface so the fans and case can dissipate the heat the right way. If you use it on your lap you have your body heat + the laptop heat, which will make it hotter.

"Hi! You may have a problem with your fan. Try to clean your fan with a compressed air can.

If the problem persists, take a look at the Troubleshooting page to diagnose your exact problem.
