You might find for example that regular Ubuntu (that Mint is based on) will not overheat your hardware, so that is always an option to look into as you work through the trouble-shooting process. IF that is the problem you end up facing and you can find no fix for it, you can live with it (like i do on this old acer laptop) and be careful how you use it, or try a different distro even. Some hardware just has an issue with Mint. You might not have a GPU on your system so this might not be the exact issue, but in all cases where people notice overheating in their system, you need to be careful and try to resolve the issue as soon as possible and as well as you can.įor example the old acer laptop i'm typing this message from also over-heats (i can't watch youtube video's on it for longer than 20mins etc), and that is after using the tips in the link in my sing and having it placed on one of those laptop pad cooler things. I was not able to get the system to take a GPU driver that would stop the default non GPU Nouveau from loading that meant after i had logged into the system, the GPU fans would not function. The laptop (an old but expensive HP) that cooked itself to death was having trouble due to the GPU card, and it was ultimately the GPU card that generated the heat that killed the system. You can have a read through the link in my sig just in case that helps also. You could try going into the bios and seeing if you can change fan settings in there (to run sooner at lower heat levels than the default setting). You might have a laptop that will cook itself to death (i had one years ago that did that).
