    I have had this Toshiba A500 ( see signature ) for a little over a month now. I love it, but lately it's warmer to the touch when just doing internet browsing than it used to be. Mainly around the fan and the bottom left corner ( Im asuming either the GPU or CPU is there cause when the laptop DOES get hotter.. that's where. ) Any tips to fix this? Thanks!
