dell lappys and overheating
 

ive been noticing my CPu getting slower and slower within the last month or so..i initially thought it was an ICQ issue but I am sure that my fans are probably dead or malfunctioning..dell wont tell you this but heres a sure fire way to adjust your fans to have your machine running optimal most of the times http://www.diefer.de/i8kfan/index.html.






the tech guys are comming out to replace all my fans and probably my videocards fan also..normally a CPU shouldnt be running above 70f, but mines is at 183 f right now :(




viva warranties!

then when them crackas leave you can say

"HOPE YOU FIND YO WAY DOWN COMPTON AVENUE MOTHAFUCKA!"

or something to that effect :)

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh maybe ill just rob them for all their spare parts

mines currently running @ 142 F
i have the same problem as you, the more time goes by the slower it runs
even after a format and reinstall i cant run it more then 9 hours without it crawling

sounds like you need your fans replaced.I know its hard having desktop power crammed into such a small place but this is rediculous

I didn't click but if it's a pentium 4 chip... you'll need some real cooling in there to get it working well.

i took a vacuum and just sucked all the shit out

I had a similiar issue with my Dell, it would just shut off after getting to hot. Did some research and found out that if you take some compressed air and blow out every nook and cranny you can get into it will get rid of all the dust that its built up inside causing the fans to slow down. Every since then no problems

183? Dayum.. it's gonna burst into flames any minute now man lol

lol..dont say that,im in the middle of massive uploads :(




the dell rep said I shouldnt even be running my comp. till the technician comes out
