I'm experiencing some troubles with my Gateway FX 7915 notebook, and I'd like to ask you guys for some tips and hints.
The specs are:
Core2Duo P8700 @ 2.53 GHz
4GB DDR3 Ram
nVidia GeForce GTX260
Windows 7 Home Edition
I use it mostly for gaming, plugged in and at a flat table so that the components can cool. However, I am getting insane temperatures during certain games, for both the CPU and the GPU. The highest I've got is 94 Celsius, but they are usually around 80+. Also, there are certain times when the CPU will get stuck at 100% usage and I can barely get more than a few frames in games that I usually score 40+. Examples are COD4 and GTA4. The games run fine for some time and then out of the blue go to those pathetic framerates.
At the moment I've got a few books lifting the CPU in the air when I'm gaming, but that's usually in games when I can use a gamepad. Apart for all the hardware related stuff, my main question is, is there a software which could be causing this?
Any help will be much appreciated.
