I'm no computer genius, but I know that solid state drives aren't supposed to heat up at all. No moving parts means no wear and no heat. Yet this one does?
My old laptop wore out recently (turns out fliplocks have weak hinges... :/ ) so I had to get a new temporary one. I bought an old Lenovo Thinkpad t420s as a temporary computer until I get a real replacement. Anyway, the one plus about this computer was that it was supposedly upgraded to have a solid state hard drive. Yet, since I've got it, it gets WAY hotter than my old computer with a regular hard drive did. The fan is constantly on, and holding my hand on the bottom too long when I run complex programs can even result in pain.
It's brand new (to me, anyway) and the storage isn't overwhelmed (though it's not much...). It even glitched into randomly coloured streams of pixels a few minutes ago.
How do I fix this? Can I fix it? Or should I just put up with it until I get a new computer in September?
