I am not sure if you have Air Conditioning. If not, then try a "Window Fan" they are great, it sits in your window and blows the cooler air inside.
TURN ON THE AC! or just turn off some lights, open the windowz...
thatz what chu could do.
You can get a good quality window air conditioner for under $100.

try keeping the room darker by keeping the shades shut. i like the sunlight but can't stand the heat so i keep my room darker it works.
you just let no light in your room and put you hard drive as far as you can from you
If you live where summer temperatures are scorching and your home doesn't have air conditioning, relief is on the way! There are several tried-and-true techniques that can help you cool down your house. Some of these are immediate and inexpensive; others will require a bit of time and investment.

Fundamentally, the idea is to minimize sources of heat and remove built-up heat from inside.


Cut back the transfer of heat through the roof and walls. If the attic isn't already insulated or is under-insulated, insulate it NOW. This will give you the greatest change in comfort for the least amount of expense.

Install inexpensive heat-reflecting film on windows that face the sun. This will keep your house cooler and reduce glare and ultraviolet rays that damage furniture and floors. For hot climates, sun-control types are most effective but be aware that they will reduce the amount of light that comes in through the windows. In climates where cold seasons are also a problem, choose a combination films (but do not apply it to south-facing windows if you want rooms to benefit from the sun's warmth during the winter).

Use shelters to prevent direct sunlight from streaming in through windows on the south and west-facing sides of the house. Overhangs, patio overheads, latticework, awnings: All of these work well.

Plant now to provide shade in the future. Trees, large bushes, and vines can provide shade and cooling evaporation--choose deciduous varieties if you want to allow the sunlight to warm the house during the winter. Pay attention to the growth characteristics of any landscaping
Closely monitor the temperature both inside and out with an indoor/outdoor thermometer. When it is cooler outside, open up windows and doors to ventilate. (Be sure your windows and doors have adequate screens to prevent an influx of bugs.) If you have operable skylights or transom windows high on walls, open them to let out super-heated air and create convection currents

7) Use portable fans or ceiling fans and the "Fan Only" setting on your heating system's thermostat to keep the air moving. By doing so, you will feel comfortable in a room that is 2 or 3 degrees warmer than a still room. If your home has a whole-house fan, turn it on to extract warm air.

8) Humidity makes room air feel warmer, so reduce indoor humidity. Minimize mid-day washing and drying clothes, showering, and cooking. And when you must do these things, turn on ventilating fans to help extract warm, moist air.
