My Mac Book Pro overheating....

[austinexs]

Well I bought a 17" 2.6 ghz mbp 4 gig ram back in July and have loved every minute of it so far but I've noticed a couple of times after having the computer asleep for hours I would flip the screen open the the computer was just burning up. Has anyone else had this problem? When I say it was hot I mean it was really hot too.

Thanks,

Austin

Do you have anything that's preventing your computer from sleeping?

Nope...it has only done it twice too since I've had it. Kinda weird. Other than that it's awesome. Love my Mac.

try an SMC reset.
