If the computer becomes warm during usage
z Check the following
• If you are not using a wireless LAN, turn the wireless LAN off.
• If the computer becomes warm while the screen saver is displayed, set the screen saver to [Windows XP]. Screen
savers that use 3-D images or other complex images increase the CPU utilization rate.
• Use recommended RAM module products. Non-recommended RAM modules may not operate properly, and may
cause damage to your computer.
z Double-click on the desktop and click [High speed], then click [OK].
• When you set [High speed], rotation of the cooling fan speeds up and the computer can be cooled down. Note that
the battery operating time will be shorter.
• When you do not frequently use CPU or the rotation noise of the fan bothers you, set [Standard] or [Low speed] as
necessary.

manuals of the peripheral devices.
