thanks ;D btw, for future reference, what temperature should I be looking at here, using the screenshot I sent you? I was looking at the block of temps but I've never used this before to know. also, I have another issue where if I have my battery plugged in and my cable in, it makes my laptop incredibly slow, to the point where it's constantly freezing and im running like, 5-10fps sometimes not even that. I have to play with my battery out and my laptop plugged in, that's when it turns itself off. is there any info I should know about that or would you just suggest handing it in to a professional, telling them everything and seeing if they can do anything about it? this only started happening after I got new charging cable as my first one that came with the laptop broke.Maybe the fan is faulty and that's why no warm air is being blown out. I'd be inclined to get it checked out by a qualified technician.
thanks for the info im certainly going to be getting it checked out now haha. thanks again I owe you one lolI am making the observation in general terms. The actual info on the processor isn't readily to hand but my laptop which is dual core maxs out at just over 60c then the fan kicks in and quickly lowers the temperature to around 50c. You can feel the warm air blasting out unlike with yours. My old Pentium 4 3.4Ghz desktop has the fastest CPU in the Prescott range and these are notorious for running hot. It is pretty well bomb proof and is like a fan heater when pushed. If it gets much past 70c I usually shut it down but it would, according to reports, work well beyond that temperature.
You are showing temperatures of 80c for the quad core processor and you didn't say that this was a laptop under heavy load playing games. Gaming is processor intensive and will push temperatures up far higher than 80c so I'm thinking that there is a problem. Your laptop processor isn't very powerful so it's not a good platform for playing demanding games. In short, if it's showing around 80c and not doing a lot this is something that needs investigation. Dust, faulty fan or the need to renew thermal paste on the processor chips may be the problem but dismantling a laptop isn't for novices.
trueIt's fairly easy to maintain a desktop but a laptop does need the occasional service and having taken a couple apart I can appreciate why the cost is more than you'd expect. Better that than having it die on you in the near future.
It can be fixed so long as you stop using the laptop before it is permanently damaged. It's not a DIY fix for most people. As you needed to ask about the problem you would be advised to have it serviced. That would involve dismantling for access, a thorough clean to get rid of dust, renewing the heat paste and checking that the fan is working properly.
