moved to the cool basement, had cooling pack below my laptop and everything motherfucker still shuts down when I play SC2. Guess I have to unscrew my fucking laptop now or something? Or is there some other way to make my SIX months year old laptop be less of a piece of shit? | ||

Discouraging because I really want to clean my laptop so it isn't hot like dickens even on power saver but I'm reduced to trying to blow out the dust through the vents. | ||

Software wise, uninstall anything that comes with the computer or do a Clean Install. Hardware wise, if you've been using it a lot and suspect there will be a lot of dust, go for it. It's not hard to do, remove battery, unscrew everything, when removing cover/keyboard be VERY Careful. There is not much wire length. There is connectors for the Screen/Keyboard that you can usually disconnect and remove and have easy access to everything. Cheers! | ||

You'd be surprised how little dust you'll get if you just put your computer on top of your desk with the intake fan pointing over the desk vs on the floor, or just raising it 3-5 inches off the ground. edit: and you probably shouldnt view for the sake of your mental health you really shouldn't fva;sdu | ||

I love you. I clean my PC of dust alot but it was hiding a fan in the front to suck in air, 3 years on and the filter for it is totally caked in brown dust not 1 particle of air could every fit thru. So now all clean and i even got a program from another TL'r called RivaTuner, my 8800 GTX was stuck at 60% fan speed, after making some profiles ( namely one at 100% ) my card now runs at 59 degrees Celsius on high settings when watching replays. Yay for no more black boxes spamming my screen. Now i gotto wait to test it ingame and not just on replays. Love you! best day this year! | ||

OK I deinstalled some programs and lots of Steam Games (basically all the games I just bought via the steam sale) Now I've had 3 SC2 games and it didnt crash once. Before it would crash at least in the 2nd game. Guess there's no need for me to unscrew anything yet. Makes me wonder what the point of something like a big ass 700gb (I know, some people have way way more than that) hard drive is when the computer stops working when you actually use that space.

It was indeed gross, especially my old keyboard, now that Chill reminded me... oh man I would always eat in my room, and all my hair fuck. Now once my keyboard from StarcraftMecca comes, I'm going to be very strict with myself when it comes to eating in my room. I should keep a hand sanitizer just get that little extra help. LOL now that I remember, my friend had a similar problem where his pc would keep shutting down, and all he did was just blow on it a few times and it started to work again! HAHA I can't imagine a life without eating in front of my PC, it's just not possible. | ||
