This part will lessen the heat issue faced by most of the notebooks an dwill also explain why the computer's fan might be on all or how loud it gets. Many producers use some cheap thermal pastes. Gateway is no exception.

Take out the thermal paste from the Intel chipset/GPU, which is a stick pad and everything from the copper cooler. Rub alcohol and a razor blade on the copper cooler but make sure not to scratch it up. Use Arctic Silver which can be found for about $5- $8 online. It is one of the better thermal pastes out there. Use it on both cores, and pop the cooler back again. Then carefully fix both the screws back again.

Then take it out again remove the cooler as well. Making sure that the copper cooler has the dark silver imprint of the cores on it. If not, one should reapply the thermal paste and see that it is placed properly, maximizing the surface area to where the heat is shifted. If it isn't connected properly, try and cool the core with only half of it being able to transfer heat. This will result in overheating or even killing the CPU. One you finish plug the fan back again in the motherboard.

After doing all these put all the screws and covers back again. See that there’s no thermal paste outside the cores. Also see that everything is tight a placed properly. And then plug in the battery and power cord and in their respective places.
