IME the A30 overheats very easily, the only way I've found around this
is to load it out with as much RAM as I can squeeze into it and jump
into the BIOS settings and choke back the CPU speed. The extra RAM
offsets the speed hit quite nicely, tho on saying that it's still not a
great machine because of the thermal problems.

I always set my notebooks on a thick metal sheet. This improves the cooling
very much

A bought recently a $25 notebook cooling setting with 3 vans supplied by
USB. This looks very effective.
