I have a Compaq Presario C700 series. I bought it one year ago and it barely made a whisper. These days I have a Zalmann ZM NC 1000 notebook cooler on at at max capacity and the notebook still overheats like crazy. Sometimes I'll need to shut it down after only an hour because otherwise it will get too hot and shut off.
What is usually the problem that causes overheating? I know CPU usage has to do with it, and playing videos definitely makes the laptop overheat. But right now I have this broswer window open and notepad, nothing else. Yet the laptop is feeling like it will shut off in 15 minutes!?
I forgot to mention, no mods except for bumping up the memory from 2 to 3 GB
