Answer» Hello again everyone!
This is sort of related to hardware... Recently I noticed my laptop has been running warmer then usual 56-60 Celsius when under NORMAL use. The system gets much hotter if I run a game which sometimes I do..
Anyways, I installed Prime95 and ran a stress test and here is something that happen within 5 minutes of full CPU usage. I stopped it after 5 min fearing it will hit its safe mark.
I don't think the temp is safe at all, in fact I think it was reaching its limit..
I never had to use a laptop cooler before and under stress before the hottest it got was 70 Celsius.. now when I ran a stress test.. see image
I took air can and blew the vents and puff of smoke came out through the sides and under the computer where it vents. I would try to take the laptop apart so I can try to see if the motherboard is covered with dust, but the computer is under warranty and I don't want to void it by opening it up.. Anyone know any good ways to cool or clean a laptop without hopefully having to buy a laptop cooler.. I have never seen temps this crazy before!
I thought this laptop looked pretty well built but apparently having 1 fan on it is not enough.. Its a Toshiba A665 series, not the 3D VERSION. I still have a warranty on it and technically nothing is broken and I hope nothing EVER breaks on this laptop. I never had to use a laptop warranty before and hopefully never, but anyone have any recommendations to help cool this computer down a bit? I already tried compress air on the vents and it dropped the idle temp by some... but under load it seems to be dangerously hot.
The system is running at factory settings.. nothing has been changed other then adding a bios and HARD drive password.
[recovering disk space - old attachment deleted by admin]External cooler fan may help and there are many you can choose from. http://www.google.com.ph/search?q=external+fan+for+laptop+image&hl=tl&prmd=ivns&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=GWGRTbzZCsLzcaLfrT8&ved=0CCEQsAQ&biw=1003&bih=563
