Re: my compaq laptop is gettin heated....

After cleaning any dust out of your PC, consider getting a chill mat or angled stand.

Also, make sure you don't cover any of the vents. While it's called a "laptop" you really shouldn't set it on anything soft, including your lap. Every laptop I've seen has intake vents on the bottom, and setting the unit on anything soft will block these vents.
