# 我的计算机变得太热

大部分计算机在运行一段时间后都会处于温热状态，一部分计算机甚至会非常热。一般情况下这种现象是正常的：这是计算机散热方式的一部分。但是如果您的计算机持续过热的话将会导致一定的损害。

Most laptops get reasonably warm once you have been using them for a while. It is generally nothing to worry about — computers produce a lot of heat and laptops are very compact, so they need to remove their heat rapidly and their outer casing warms up as a result. Some laptops do get too hot, however, and may be uncomfortable to use. This is normally the result of a poorly-designed cooling system. You can sometimes get additional cooling accessories which fit to the bottom of the laptop and provide more efficient cooling.

If you have a desktop computer which feels hot to the touch, it may have insufficient cooling. If this concerns you, you can buy extra cooling fans or check that the cooling fans and vents are free from dust and other blockages. You might want to consider putting the computer in a better-ventilated area too — if kept in confined spaces (for example, in a cupboard), the cooling system in the computer may not be able to remove heat and circulate cool air fast enough.

有些人担心使用热的笔记本电脑会有健康风险，这儿给出一个建议，长时间把热的笔记本放在膝盖上，可能会降低(男性)生殖能力，还有报告会有轻度烫伤(极罕见情况)，如果您担心这些可能的问题，可以咨询医师听听他们的意见。当然，您也可以简单地将笔记本从膝盖上拿开。

大多数现代计算机在其过热的情况下会自动关闭以防止发生损坏。如果您的计算机一直无法开机，这可能就是原因所在。如果计算机确实过热，则您可能需要对其进行修理。
