Hello Everyone,

I am having issues with the computer turning off due to overheating (160 degrees fahrenheit maximum) while playing war thunder and frezes while playing minecraft.

I have seen in other forums that the A10-4600M was the issue.

I tried to look up upgrade specs for my computer but it just told me what I already know IS installed not what is upgradable for the apu

I would like to know if the A10-5750M or any other higher APU is an option for this computer this is the specs for the pc http://www.toshiba.com/us/computers/laptops/satellite/S850/S855D-S5120

I have not upgraded anything yet and this has just started happening the last couple of days. I tried looking for a bios update but the latest one 6.40 is the one I have and cannot locate it or any other ones to see if that is an issue the latest one on toshiba's site is 6.20 I cannot remember where I got the 6.40 updated bios.

Thank you for your time

Sincerely Robert

Hello Velo3100 Thank you for responding quickly. I just got done taking apart the laptop and there was dust clogged in the vent BUT that was not the main issue I went ahead and cleaned off the APU's compound grease (it was dried on and hard to remove) and that solved my issues. Also the APU is removable just had to loosen a screw and it was able to come out) I still wanted to upgrade it to a better one the only one I can upgrade to is the A10 5750M then I can upgrade the memory to 1866MHz @16 Gb from doing a little more research here at this forum and a few others too

Thanks for your help and have a great evening

Sincerely, Robert
