Hi

My computer is a Toshiba Satellite L50-B and just recently I've been having problems with it crashing randomly. My fan gets really loud about 5 mins after start up and it heats up alot. I've noticed that my computer calms down (fan isn't as loud, computer cools down) when RealTek Audio HD crashes. I've reinstalled it since the first time I saw that but it still heats up alot and only cools down when it crashes... Solutions?

The heating may be normal, or not. The do run hot sometimes, and it's normal. Very often older laptop fans do block up with lint, and you have to take the laptop apart and blow them out and put new heat sink compound on the CPU and GPU. That could be one problem.

The audio driver may be corrupted, but it's hard to tell with windows. Just try installing the driver again, that is, uninstall and reinstall it from a known good source. If the crashes stop, good. If not, the problem is elsewhere.

Is it heating up? Sure.
Is it "overheating"? Absolutely not.

Again, check what is causing the issue first.
