as u can prolly tell by the heading i am running a hot computer. im not exactly sure if htis was the forum i was meant to write into, but it seemed that it could b a hardware thing. i use an acer aspire 1640 which has not had any parts changed or anything. i was wondering if there is a way to tell how hot ur computer is running and then possibly how to fix it if its running too hot. mine does run hot, to the point where i have an icepack on it :S please help me!
Download Everest here : http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4181.html. As for fixing the heat problem, get some extra fans or possibly some water coolers installed *or install them yourself if you know how*.
i just tried the link but it was dead. Not Found The requested URL /download4181.html. was not found on this server. Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. Apache/1.3.37 Server at www.majorgeeks.com Port 80 thats what firefox said. and is it possible to get a water cooler for a laptop?
Aaaaah, it's a laptop... Well then watercooling and extra fans might be out of the question alltogether... First, here's another link for everest : http://www.download.com/Everest-Ultimate-Edition-2006/3000-2086-10499291.html *i tested this one, it works* As for the cooling problem, since it's a laptop, i can't help you, because i know f***all about cooling those things, but i'm sure someone here has some ideas. Good luck.
lol, ok thanks for ur help anyways. lets hope that this will b useful. btw. do u know what the critical temp of a cpu is? just incase i get a lil to hot
Well, most of the time temps over 50°c aren't good, over 60°c is pretty bad, and much hotter... well, i take it you get the picture
:S thats not good at all. when i used everest i had a idleing temp of about 55c this is not good at all. i know u said u didnt know much about laptops but do u have any ideas at all about how i could keep it cooler? the best idea i have had so far is the ice pack
