Hi all,
I have a Dell Studio 1555 (studio 15r submodel) from around 2010. My battery was shot so I always had it plugged in. It would overheat and shut down periodically. I opened it up, cleaned it all out and found a nice thick blanket inbetween the fan and heat sink. After cleaning it out it runs nice and cold, case roughly 40 degrees when playing a game, everything else in the mid 50s (celcius) while running a game.
I figured that my problem was over until it would shut off without over heating. I did some troubleshooting and came to the conclusion that it only happens when my power cable is plugged in. I just bought some Artic Silver 5 that I haven't had the time to open my laptop again and also bought a new dc adapter the will come in the mail in a couple days and ill replace both at the same time.
Playing the same game on both battery and plugged in, HWMonitor shows the same temps. I'm getting 6008 unexpected shutdowns on Event Viewer everytime it occurs.
Could the new DC jack fix the error or possible a new charger? I was playing a game for the entire length of the battery life with no issue at all. Once the battery got low, I plugged in the charger and within 5 minutes it shutdown. Tested the charger in multiple wall outlets and power strips.
Thank you in advance for any responses.
