Using photoshop my laptop overheats

[jimo5FA2]

whenever i run photoshop my laptop fans start spinning and suddenly my gets so heated up i can't put it on my lap.

Is it normal to overheat while using this program.

Hi

It really depends on the version of Photoshop you have and your laptops system specs, what processor, RAM, GPU and system drive does the laptop have

[jimo5FA2]

I have DELL Latitude E7440 laptop. I bought this laptop in used form.

CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4300U CPU @ 1.90GHz 2.50 GHz

RAM: 8.00 GB

GPU: HD Graphics Family

We could get some idea if you open Photoshop and go Help > System info > Copy and paste to this thread.

That is a non genuine, hacked, copy of Photoshop. We cannot help you further. 

There is a high chance you have malware from such stolen software

@davescm No wonder the laptops running hot 🤣

[davescm]

@Ged_Traynor A whole new meaning to hot software 🙂

Adobe Photoshop Version: 2014.0.0

License Type: Tryout Version

Something wrong with your system info, CC 2014 is not available as a trial version from the Creative Cloud, the only version available for trial is the most recent version 2021

Despite the name "laptop", it's a best practice not to use them on laps.

Thank you for the advice 

[Lumigraphics]

My suggestion would be to uninstall all of the hacked copies of Adobe products, run a virus/malware scan on the computer, consider reinstalling Windows, then once things are cleaned up, download the legitimate version of Photoshop from Adobe's website.
