Next, you need to set the automatic shutdown of the laptop when there is 5 to 15% battery charge left.

At the same time, it is worth monitoring the openings in the ventilation grills. They should not be clogged with dust or dirt and create obstacles to the normal cooling process. It is worth putting the laptop on a special stand, as using the laptop on your lap or on a cloth contributes to severe overheating.
