ok thats nice. please close someone.

i have a cooling pad now, and my laptop isnt hot anymore. the cooling pad is quiet and does a good job. i uninstalled coretemp before i got the cooling pad, so unless you want me to find out the temperature again, ill keep it uninstalled. :happy:

sounds rational.. :freak:

ill get it cooled down. when i get some money. i put a fan about the size of a tv screen up to the bottom of the laptop on its highest speed, and the temp still barely went down. :snob: when do i graduate from junior techie?

I downloaded, installed, and restarted. Temperature hasnt showed much of a difference. But i havent crashed since then. Ive only crashed once today. :happy:

No thanks. I found it. This looks like the right one for me. 40% downloaded. :happy: Ill probably get the first one.

I went to AMD's chipset driver page and downloaded the first (AMD Driver Pack, Version 1.30). I havent executed it yet. I have an AMD Turion 64 X2 processor and that download is supposed to detect my OS and install the right drivers. But im not sure this is the right one for me because it doesnt...

I need to get one soon. I was sitting it on top of a pillow in my lap, blocking the fan. So, i put on a book instead and instead of being in the 160-190 range, its brought itself down to 142-145. The touchpad is starting to burn my fingers alot too. I found out, basically, what a chipset is...

But what is the chipset? And does this cooling pad look ok? :confused:

Ill take care of the cooling pad first, and then if I have any more crashes, Ill know the driver could be causing it on its own. What are chipset drivers and what do I need them for? :confused:

Ok, ill try to get a cooling pad to bring down the heat. But I thought you said overheating was the probelm, so what do drivers have to do with it? Or are drivers and overheating both contributing to crashes? I dont know if i have installed the chipset drivers. How can i tell?

I really wish it would go down. It burns everything it touches. Any idea on how it got that way? Because i dont. What is IRQL? And is there any way to fix this? :(

just as i was about to post a screenshot of coretemps readings, it crashed. heres the screenshot. and heres the technical information from the crash (for Mak213): ***STOP: 0x0000007F (0x00000008, 0x8562F0C0, 0x00000000, 0x00000000) thats it. :eek:

ok ill try to get one. but i still cant see it unless it crashes again. ill try to make it crash. :freak:

Cooling pads cost money right? where would i get one? What drivers are you talking about? :confused: & Ive seen that BSOD screen so many times, it would seem like i would know what it said. but lately, its been going by so fast I dont even have time to read it. It just flashes for a second and...
