    Both of them are very good.

    Sheel... are you SURE your laptop is freezing due to overheating and not because of memory or hardware conflicts etc...

    Anyway ye, the maplins one seems good :)

    Are many people experiencing the same thing?

    This laptop's been going crazy tonight and haven't checked Sheel's link yet, (will do in a second though! :)) but should laptop's get so hot that they can't be used on a lap? Or even a tray on a lap? :confused:

    Sorry Mr Skint, just clicked on your link too ... oops.

    So are these necessities? This laptop's heat (and fan) is worrying me at the moment ...

    Put it this way, circulation is quite high on a PC users agenda, a laptop
    even more so, if I spent £30 by getting a cooling pad and it saved me
    £90 because of hardware failure then YES a blooming good investment.
