Well I have been using an Acer E1-531 Laptop provided by my college
Specs being:-
Processor : Intel Celeron B820 @1.7GHz
RAM : 2GB
OS : Windows 7 Professional (32-bit)
And i just wanted to see whether I could upgrade the laptop to enhance the performance so I could do more with it as it was very laggy. So I just did some research and decided to upgrade as follows:
Processor : Intel i5-2540M @2.6GHz (TurboBoost to 3.3GHz)
RAM : 16GB
OS : Windows 10 (64-bit)
As of now I have just received the new i5 processor that I had ordered and decided to replace it with my previous processor.
Everything went fine after the upgrade. My laptop automatically installed the new drivers for the CPU and it started running normally. But after sometime it just shutdown and this problem started recurring. Everytime when I used the laptop for a about 20-30min Idle or Working the laptop would just shut down.
I did some more research and came to learn that the chipset could be a problem. I really need someone to explain me what I have done wrong AND what I could still do to make it work (at all costs). As I have bought the new processor and don't want it to go to waste.
What I thought of : (May be Dumb)
1) Upgrading the laptop with all the components altogether so that the laptop performance overall is increased.
