I'm usinng an hp envy ultrabook 6t-1000 with a 2nd gen Intel Core i5-2467M Processor(1.6 GHz) and a 2GB AMD Radeon HD 7670M discrete graphics card. 4 GB of DDR3 RAM.
Until recently, I've had no problems gaming. About a month ago, however, my laptop started overheating. I hadn't gamed in a while but I started playing Diablo III after a 7 month break from D3, maybe a 3 month break from gaming as a whole, and it would overheat after 20 minutes. My laptop would get hot (not surprising, this happens when playing intensive games), but then my laptop shut down. On restart, I got a screen saying it was because my laptop overheated.
or a couple of weeks I thought that the problem was with D3. I turned on Vsync and limited foreground FPS and that gave me about 20 minutes more, but my laptop would still overheat and shutdown after around 40/45 minutes.
I started playing FTL and had no problems. Then I played Rochard and again, my laptop shutdown. I still wasn't sure if it was the games or my laptop, so I played (vanilla) Skyrim on ultra settings for about an hour before my laptop shutdown again.
When I first got the laptop, and up until these problems began, I never had any problems with my laptop shutting down from overheating.
All this happened when I was playing on a desk. HP CoolSense is on. I tried using SpeedFan to manually keep my fans going at a high speed to prevent this but SpeedFan doesn't seem to be compatible with my laptop.
Any explanations for this or things I can do to fix the problem?
