I've only had one BSoD on this computer, and that was because I left it on too long and it overheated >_< I had to send it in to be repaired, and they replaced the motherboard + fan. Thank gooood it was still under warranty XD
Computers don't explode unless you actually pack explosives in them. At most, they'll just heat up and let off smoke as their internal components melt.
Even though you shouldn't keep them on eternally, as long as they're in a cool room and have a proper cooling system, they should be fine. Especially of note is not to put laptops on a soft, malleable surface, because that will stuff up the opening in the bottom of the laptop for the fan to blow through, causing it to overheat.
o.o My computer never overheats... But thats probably because i've got three fans that fit in my computer case and another two that I just put in there o.o
my laptop only overheats if I leave it with the lid open too long or obviously when I obstruct the hot air exhaust, other than that it can operate for days
The screen of the laptop is also referred to as its lid. So when the lid is down, it means the laptop is closed. Alternately, and open lid is when the screen is facing up.
One of the fans in my laptop is broken because HP sucks. I have a cooling pad, though. Takes up a USB port but keeps the laptop from frying itself so it's a fair trade. It's also nice to be able to use it on my bed or lap and not have to worry about overheating at all. (Mind you, my laptop can overheat on a clear surface with no obstructions so... <_<)
you have HP? and it sucks that bad? My older sister has an HP and hers is totally fine, for some reason I can never use a laptop while lying down, I have to be sitting upright.
