Hello everyone,
I have registered to this forum just to find a solution to a very persistent problem with my overheating CPU (sorry for being a bit of a scumbag and for my english).
The issue is that a few months after the warranty had expired my CPU started overheating A LOT, causing my Acer Aspire 5745g to freeze and eventually shut down (at the moment the laptop is pretty much a hi-tec skype machine).
I have tried all the solutions I could find on the internet -cleaning the fans with compressed air, clean boot (to determine a faulty process using up too much CPU power), etc. Usually the clean boot helped, but not recently. The last suggestion I tried was to disable the automatic fan control in BIOS to make the CPU fan run 24/7 at 100% speed, but the BIOS had only a few options available (changing the date, time, password and boot options, nothing even closely related to power saving options). I tried this because I have noticed that the fan would activate only when the motherboard is about to shut down the laptop due to high temperatures -at around 80 degrees of Celsius (CPU temps: cca 65 idling, rockets up to 85-100 in less than 30 seconds after starting any program/game using CPU, therefore forcing a freeze and then a shutdown). I have also tried changing the power options in Control Panel, but to no avail.
Is there anyone who could help me, please? Any other suggestions? Anything I did wrong? Any help or answer is greatly appreciated.
My specs are:
Acer Aspire 5745g
Intel i7-740QM @1,73 GHz
NVIDIA GeForce GT 420M
motherboard is Acer ZR7, with Intel HM55 chipset
