    stumped overheat
    « on: March 19, 2015, 04:35:10 AM »
    ok my laptop is a NEC running Win 7 32 bit build 7601. ok I have a really big question and I am stumped I have no idea why my comp keeps overheating. ok this is my list of things I just did today and still I overheat. oh by the way I just installed 1 month ago a new hard drive and new memory and ram and a fresh clean install of win 7. ok my list now

    1. cleaned fans and check fans to see if there running all good I have 2 fans ( results after cleaning overheat)

    2.all vents are cleaned ( results after making sure no dust bunnies overheat)

    3.replaced thermal paste for intel Pentium ( results still overheating)

    4. went to programs and services and turned off unnecessary programs that are not needed such as Bluetooth,smart card,parental control etc. also changed video from aero to basic (results still overheating)

    ok after all that I am stumped have no clue as to why I am overheating so if anyone has any good ideas please let me know I probably have missed something besides building a new comp by now so please help

    thanks, ckch03

    When you say it's overheating, how do you know?  Have you checked your temperatures with e.g. hwmonitor?
    One possibility off the top of my head is that if your heatsink uses a heatpipe, which many or even most laptops do, the heatpipe may have become faulty - most likely a hairline crack letting what's inside evaporate - meaning it won't function anywhere near properly any more.  As I say, that is just a possibility, if you can give us some more information on the exact issuer you're experiencing then we'll know whether that's applicable to your issue or not.

      yes I am monitoring heat by crystaldisk info and I am in the red with temp. a new heat sink is next to impossible check everywhere online  for one but no parts match. anyway I find that the heatsink would be the problem as this laptop has never been dropped or misused in anyway. whats weird is when I am not online or downloading or doing a antivirus scan my temp is fine if I watch video or right even now as I am online my temp is shooting near the red zone please let me know what more info you need

      Are you sure CrystalDisk has the matching info from that CPU ? ?
      Have you checked the CPU manuf. list of operating temps ?

        yes I have the right info on cpu temp and I have also tried other monitoring software such a coretemp and speed fan both give me the red light for over heating
