If your ASUS S340MF is overheating, ensure that the air vents are not obstructed and that the internal fans are functioning properly. You may also consider cleaning the dust from the fans and heat sinks using compressed air. Additionally, ensure the CPU thermal paste is adequately applied.
To improve performance, consider upgrading the RAM and ensuring that your system is free of malware. You can also optimize startup programs and clean up unnecessary files. Regularly updating drivers and the operating system can also help in enhancing performance.
To install additional RAM, first, power off and unplug your ASUS S340MF.
