Dang 64C at idle? That'd be okay during a load.

But it feels abit hot for a laptop.
Plus I had many PC overheat shut downs.
About 1 hour ago I got BSOD from my graphics card.
Also Using a cooler, and done PC checks ( virus scan, Glary Ultitys 1 click fix thing.)

It is too hot if that is the temp at idle, it could be caked with dust, have you thought of taking it apart and cleaning it out?

LittleBlackA · Jan 22, 2014

Sounds Like A Plan. But I'm Not experienced With Pulling a Laptop apart.
Btw its 71 degrees and I'm only using IE and Microsoft Security Essentials.

Thought of picking up a cooling bad to put it on when using it> ? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834992853

Um I do have a cooler.

patrick47018 · Jan 22, 2014

Oh well in that case it is either a fan is dead inside or more likely a ton of dust, but either could be the case. I say look up a video on disassembling a laptop and reassembling it.

OK thanks for your help, and this way off topic, but do you think I can run Call Of Duty Black OPS 2, once I fix this issue.

patrick47018 · Jan 22, 2014

Yeah http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DYs8X8P2fA

No problem, don't forget to select a best answer

Im happy in a way and unhappy, I can run all the games I want (I did some google searching), but I have to fix my card...

gotta feeling that thermal paste and a clean might just fix it.

I JUST RELISED MY FAN IS AT --RPM??? Sorry about CAPS but I think the fans broke ;/

patrick47018 · Jan 22, 2014

Could very well be broke

LittleBlackA · Jan 22, 2014

BUggggggggger. Well im dead, its not my pc

.

Well, I reckon a company should build a laptop with lots of air circulation. I have about 7-8 air vents and I'm using a cooler. So yer I thought something was up.
