Answer» Heylo guys,
I have a DELL studio 1557 with i7 core, 4 gb of ram. The problem i the computer often shutsdown due to overheating. its ideling at 70 degrees ish and i often have to prop it up with a book underneath to prevent it to overheat.
Is there any way to resolve this? Can i somehow slow down the cpu at idle TIME?(checked bios, nothing helps)...
ThxOverheating on what point? Make sure laptop's fan is working(properly) by using a HW Monitor software. You could also use a Fancooler(USB External Fan) to help dissipate heat.When was the last time you cleaned it out with a can of compressed air?
Are all of your fans working?The computer works for a bit and then SHUTS down. when in idle the fan makes a LOT of noise and is continously running. the table it sits on is very hot.
btw thx for the quick replies!

Chances are an i7 laptop is new enough to still be under warranty.
