It is a HP Laptop and I am having terrible heat issue. Sometimes it is so bad that it shuts down every 5 mins. I have been using this laptop for 5&1/2 yrs.
One day I was so frustrated that I disected the laptop entirely, separated every pieces of the laptop. Luckily I was able to put back the pieces together to get it running. Still the heat issue was not fixed.
Now I am thinking of turning off the heat sensor if there is one, I guess there must be. I have to do a little research on this.

I am also thinking of buying a cheap but durable laptop because I use it just for watching netflix and reading news, nothing else. Which laptop do you guys suggest? I am not buying tablets.
