How can I prevent my Acer laptop from overheating and turning itself off?

I own an Acer Aspire 7720, which I’ve had no problems with until now. The laptop will be on for a few hours and then it’ll turn off and I won’t be able to turn it back on for at least an hour or two after. If this is due to overheating, how can I prevent this from happening?

Laptops need to dissipate heat by at least some airflow underneath, so typically, you can’t actually have them on your laps for a long time. Don’t put it on carpet, on a bed or pillow or other such thing. Put it on a hard surface — a table, a lapdesk, a large book — anything so that it’s legs are keeping it a little off the surface and letting air get underneath. Also make sure that any vents you see on the case are not blocked by dust, your hands, or anything else.
