LSudlow Posted August 13, 2004 Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 It sounds like you are really exercising your machine. When it gets too hot, your fan speeds up and your CPU and graphics chips slow down -- all in an effort to keep everything from melting. You'll find that laptop cooling is a popular topic on many forums, with specialized coolers now becoming available. Also, it's important to keep all the cooling vents free from obstruction. And try a can of compressed air to blow dust out of the heat sink fins, which should be visible behind one of the vents. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guest Posted August 15, 2004 Report Share Posted August 15, 2004 Forgot to long in..this is Erdrickk Anyways I have a solution to your problem. I had the Same issue and it was sucking, I didnt want a melt down. Get a program Called SpeedSwitch XP 1.4 It caps your proc at 1.6 GHZ. Ever since I did that, I have NEVER ONCE got above 55C and my high speed Fan has NEVER come on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
