Greetings,
I seem to have a problem that started maybe a year ago overheating my HP G7000/7018EP bought somewhere in 2007/08.
Ever since then by searching in google for whatever reason this was happening i learnt a few things like cleaning the fan, replacing thermal paste and so. I managed to open the case and, look what I found.. yeah, dust, dust everywhere. So with a can of compressed air I removed the dust, applied new thermal pad, and so on with the procedues.
I also had this thought that maybe the problem was in the OS itself since it came with that sluggish Vista from factory, I changed to 7 and the overheat just became worse. Even on Linux it's overheating. I also replaced the CPU for a Core2Duo 2.0 Ghz and added a 2Gb DDR2 stick.
Look I don't know what's happening, but the laptop seems to get more hotter than the time when I didn't clean the dust which is pretty ironic.
In that mean time, I could barely use my computer with High Performance even when I was gaming. Now if I do that my computer just shuts down since it's reaching the maximum temperature. (Feel free to correct me if i'm wrong.) So in order to get lower temperatures, I have to set it on Power Saving. But I know that's not a solution at all.
Plus, the fan is almost constantly buzzing (not at the same speed) but whatever it's sound is f***** annoying (sorry for bad language).
So, anybuddy can help with this issue?
Thank you.
EDIT: On windows 7 (Power saving) my idle temps are somewhat like 50-60 C.
EDIT2: Full load temps are something like 90C before the system autoshuts down.
