My computer gets hot and freeze

I just bought a Macbook Pro 13 inch 3 weeks ago. It has froze 3 times. Whenever i turn the computer on, it gets very hot just about 20 minutes after it has been on. I cant even leave my computer on my legs because it is too hot. Are there any problems with my computer? Thanks

Hi there,
I actually cant help you either, but I have the same problem. I guess it is just a problem with lack of "air going out"?
Cheers

    Hello Y2murilo11,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like your iPhone is getting warm and intermittently stops responding. Take a look at the article linked below, it provides troubleshooting suggestions that’ll resolve issues like the one that you've described.

    Also, you can find a lot of great information about the devices operating temperature and what happens when it exceeds a certain temperature threshold here:

  • My Computer Gets Hot and Doesn't Sleep.

    Just recently, there was my computer has stopped going to sleep when I shut it. The only way that it will go to sleep is if I pysically tell it to. The other thing is that my computer gets EXTREMELY hot to the point where I can't touch the bottom of it even when I keep it on a flat surface such as a table or desk. I also noticed, that the fan does not go on when my computer gets hot so I was wondering if there was something wrong with it to the point where I need to get it fixed. In December I had to replace my battery because it mysteriously died after only being used for about 5 months from the time I bought the computer brand new. Any help you could give me would be great because if something is wrong I want to take it into the Apple store and get it fixed before something does go wrong. Thanks.

    Thin may be in but it's not necessarily where it's at! (depending on the application anyway).
    I'd like to see apple introduce a workmans laptop along the lines of the toughbook, a lil' thicker for heat dispersal thus quiet operation for audi work, more rugged in build and i'm sure they can figure out a way to give it a lil' bit of that apple style too!
    Not that they should replace the thin line of notebooks but offer something for those who need more of a workbook.

  • Computer getting hot and battery dying quickly

    Hi!
    Just last night my computer started running hot and I can hear the fans working. The battery life is lasting about 2.5 hours. I've had my mac since fall 2011... What should I do? PS. I'm completely computer clueless which is why I got a mac in the first place!

    Missy,
    to check you battery information open the application "System Information" in the folder "/Applications/Utilities"
    Now select "Hardware > Power" on the left and look at the following information:
    Charge Information:
         Full Charge Capacity:
    Health:
          Cycle Count:
          Condition:
    in my case the Cycle Count is 73

  • When I play minecraft my computer gets loud and hot.

    When I play minecraft on my macbook pro, my computer's fan turns on which is very loud, and also my computer gets hot.  Normally this wouldn't be a problem but I make Minecraft Youtube videos and it sounds bad in the video.

    Sometimes this happens when the computer has to do a lot of work.... What I mean by that is if you have other applications open or applications that are running it has to work minecraft which you are in and the other apps that are running.... To prevent this from happening is when you are playing Minecraft only have like 1 or 2 apps open in the background at a time and none running then the fans don't have to kick in and make the computer get hot. This has happened to me and I did exactly this and it stopped after the first try of doing it.
    Hope this helps,

  • Computer gets hot while recharging

    I have a 13 inch macbook that just started getting really hot whenever I charge it up. The white blocky transformer thing on the cord gets hot and the computer gets hot.  Which should I try to replace first, the cord or the battery? (Not rich over here....)

    Thanks, I have to call back 800 692-7752 - the hours are 6AM - 6PM Pacific Time. The recorded message reccommends the site https://expresslane.apple.com  - you need your device serial number for this.  It's a shame Apple placed this number under the tiny clip on the 6th Generation Nano.  (!!!)  
    Looks like I'll be waiting for the help line to open  :/

  • My Computer Gets Hot To 90 C, Is It Because of my Case!?

    Why does my computer get hot when I'm on Safari, Minecraft or any other iApps?

    Temperature generated by your MBP is a function of the demands that are placed on the CPU/GPU.  I suggest that you do the following:
    Install istat menus:
    http://bjango.com/mac/istatmenus/
    Open ACTIVITY MONITOR to ALL PROCESSES and set %CPU to display values from high to low.
    When you MBP gets hot. post images of the both applications mentioned for inspection.
    Note that 90°c is not lethal and under certain conditions normal.  In addition, the MBP has circuits that will shut it down if the temperature become too high.
    Ciao.

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Given that it's only 3 months old and was brand new, you are covered by warranty. You need to take it to whoever you bought it from as they are the servicer of your warranty.
    Good luck!

  • Why is my computer getting hot

    why is my computer getting hot?

    You've left us with very little to go one. What model MacBook Pro do you have? There are now a number of variants with different heat profiles. Also, what activies are you doing on the MBP when the heat seems excessive?
    How hot is "hot?" Notebooks run hotter because they have compact cases that cannot accommodate big 120mm fans like a desktop machine. The safety shut-down point (protects the processor from damage) is in the range of 200-212F. Under this is OK. Mine is running a processor temp of 135F while I post this
    You need to get software that reports actual temps. The free Dashboard widget iStatPro is here:
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/status/istatpro.html
    and will give you handy temp readouts. Then we can tell if you have a heat problems.
    The case bottom is part of the heat dissipation system. It's supposed to feel warm, just like the radiator of an automobile. You should always use the computer in such a way that air can get under the case.

    (sorry for my english)
    I have problem with my computer.
    When I'm playing computer games or when I save movie created in Sony Vegas or Windows Movie Maker, my Toshiba is getting hot, and shut down.
    I don't know the reason.
    I saw that, wnen CPU is 50% of use (saving movie in Movie Maker) the computer will shut down about 5 min from start to save.
    I bought this computer in UK in august. I did't format it for 7 months.
    What can I do ?
    Maybe open and clean the fan ?
    Will I lost my warranty, when I only open it and clen ?

    Barrie :
    I usually use my computer on knees, but wneh I put in on desk the effect it that same...
    cooling vents free, not blocked.
    C3PO:

    first. When I played game "Mafia2". about 30 minutes playing and computer shutdown.
    Now when I'm playing Call of Duty Black Ops or doing something when CPU use is 50% it getting hot next shutdown.

  • The iPod touch 5 battery won't charge, the iPod battery gets hot and doesn't turn on...  What is wrong?  Can photos and data be retrieved?

    The iPod touch 5 battery won't charge, the iPod battery gets hot and doesn't turn on...  What is wrong?  Can photos and data be retrieved?

    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. I suspect a hardware problem  due to the hotness. If iTunes can't see the iPod then uor only hope if to contact a data recovery company for getting data off the iPod. If you have an iPod backup you can restore another iPod, iPhone or iPad from the backup to get the data that was in the backup

    Remove the song in question from the sync list and see if the rectifies the problem.
    If it does, then iTunes believes the song no longer exists on your drive and that will need to be corrected.
