The model of the ultrabook I own is the Hp envy 4-1015dx. I dont exactly remember how long I've had it, but the I checked the warranty and it expired in 2010, so its been an upwards of 5 years. I'm a student so i obviously use it for college and school work, but I also use it to game on the go (which obviously is not the best on an i3, but it was decent). When I do normal stuff like homework or web browsing, I don't have any issues. Usually when I play a video game, like league of legends for example, i can run it at low/medium settings at 30fps with not much change. recently, the computer has started running very loudly when playing and dipping down as low as 5fps and the computer gets quite a bit hotter than usual when I'm just sitting at a desk playing. Could this be that my processor is going to die or is it just slowing down? Is it time for a new computer?
