Hi, I recently had a overheat problem with my old laptop Asus K42F where the CPU temperature goes over 80°C then shuts down while playing games so I decided to take it apart and clean the inside. Since I haven't clean it for years you would expect the air vent for the fan is clogged by dust so I clean it, wipe the CPU and reapply thermal paste reassemble and temperature is back to normal when playing games.
The problem was the touchpad ain't working so I decided to take everything apart again and can't seem to find the problem. I then decided to update the bios, enable pointing device in bios and touch pad finally worked. Only problem now is my laptop keeps shutting down even though the CPU temperature ain't that high. It goes over 60°C when playing games and CPU fan is silent compared to how loud the fan was when going over 80°C. But still it shut its self down after 10mins of playing. I keep track of the temperature while playing. Use 2 apps to check temperature. No use checking the bios settings since all I can change in the bios is the time, date, SATA config, fancy startup, HDD password, boot settings. No option for CPU. Anyone got a clue on what is wrong with my laptop?
