    Laptop's gone silly.

    Can anyone make head or tails of this?



    Last night it was working normally, but now it's like a small heater. Processor isn't doing much but it's hitting 70-75°C (158-167°F) and the fan is working overtime.
    I've tried restarting, killing pretty much every process through Task Manager, booting in safe mode and placing it in the fridge for an hour. Nuffin.

    Thoughts? Fixes? Smug mockery?

      If you have tired everything then you could get a cooling pad (A pad with fans on it that you put your laptop on) that's what I had to use on my old laptop.

          i hope placing it in the fridge was a joke. condensation on electronics = disaster. those temps are pretty high.. like supermoe suggested, a cooling pad will reduce temps a bit. are you experiencing any lag/performance issues from this?

              The fridge is a BAD idea. It might be cold, but it is moist.

                  What? No. It's just using a mac theme. I've never heard of any Mac OS with a taskbar like that, or Windows Task Manager for that matter.

                      Fridge was indeed a joke. Any other fixes apart from cooling pads? I can't imagine anything can mess with the hardware of a laptop while it's off, and I haven't installed any major software in weeks.

                      The plastic case is getting HAWT. And yeah, FFR's been jittery since this morning.

                              Get some can air and take it to the fan/heatsink area. Also kill some of those 119 process using msconfig. You should also get your thermal compound reapplied.

                                  FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUU I just ain't got no cash. The heatsink/fan area is clean as a potato. I'll get some thermal compound. Let's see if that changes anything :P

                                      When the fans are spinning fast is there any hot air coming from the vents of your laptop?

                                          Yeah, that's the weird thing. The processor is idling, but the air coming out is hot enough to burn my fingers.

                                              Turn it off and let it cool then power it on and let it idle in BIOS. If the temp gets very hot like it is now return for warranty. If not do a recovery.

                                                  Righto, the warranty expires in January. Thanks for the help.

                                                  Oh, well I'll do that. I'll be posting from my phone for an hour or so.

                                                      Send it in and they will probably reapply thermal paste to the cpu. Although I don't know why it would be wearing down if its still under warranty. Did you accidently drop your laptop at any point?

                                                          The largest impact my laptop has gone through is failed quad arrow smashing. Oh, and the warranty expired this January. @_@

                                                          I let it idle in the BIOS menu and though it was still warmer than usual, it was nowhere near as hot during normal operation. I'm running some tests now and it's decided to warm up my house even more.
