Though that was the case since i replaced my fan and forgot to take it off. maybe when it was being put together they forgot? (my comp took a while before the actual heating became a problem) | ||

Nooo, buy some dust off and blow the dust away, check the fans.If you don't have experience opening laptops, take it to the nearest service center. | ||

With stacraft my computer sometimes sleeps, and sometimes crash on its own, while with other games even though I am running 30-40FPS it lags even in places with not that much graphic intensity. I know this because even if I throw the graphics on lowest it still lags and jags. I dont know what to do, I mean its not like its unplayable but this thing is really getting more and more annoying. Have you tried getting one of those base fans to and set your laptop on it? That might help it cool off. | ||

Im not familiar with AMD, but with intel c2d you can use RMclock to easily and safely undervolt your cpu (this also doesnt reduce performance) you could try and see if this is possible with AMD too. My max tamps used to be around 89ish, and i lowered them to around 70-75 by simply decreasing the voltage from 1.1250 to 0.9620v. If there is a program to allow you to do this with AMD cpu's you should be able to find guides via google. Also if your really brave you could try opening it up and reapplying thermal paste. Probably not worth it, but could possibly help, worth trying before you go out and buy a new laptop! Good luck and dont die | ||

So my bet would be to check that first. I would not suggest lowering the voltage. Lowering the clock might be an idea but it is more likely a thermal paste problem. | ||

After clearing the dust (Which I'm pretty sure won't affect much), you should really check for new thermal paste. I don't know how they do it, but most computer that you buy already assembled comes with really inadequate thermal paste standard. Most of the time, there is way too little, like it doesn't even cover 25% of the surface. So my bet would be to check that first. I would not suggest lowering the voltage. Lowering the clock might be an idea but it is more likely a thermal paste problem. Lowering the voltage isnt a problem depending on the softare you use to do it, afaik its impossible to actually damage the CPU with voltage unless you increase it too much, also with rm clock since its an application that runs at startup, if you go too low and blue screen you can just boot in safe mode (although ive never had to do that, rmclock auto-resets) Im not saying your wrong, just wonderring why you wouldnt recommend it? IS there something im missing? Thanks | ||
