I think my laptop is overheating.
Whole story. Asus ul30v 1.3ghz 8gb RAM x64 windows home premium
6 weeks ago. - Everything A-ok
5 weeks ago. - hard drive crash
- Replace with old 80gb hd
- Friend installs (illegal -living in CHINA) x86 windows ultimate (not 64 like i asked.
Ever since then it just never ran right.
It is running, and i don't hear the fan and don't feel air out the vent. i took it to a fella today and he opened the laptop and we saw the fan is spinning. no dirt.
But the laptop seems to be acting like it is overheating. During a movie it just oddly stops and freezes for 15-20 seconds then returns playing. random programs just stop and freeze.
I downloaded freeware called speedfan and it says the temps (After an hour use) are running 50+ C. I don't think that is overly hot. But it still seems to act like overheating issues.
I have asus uv30t. It is an older laptop, I bought it used. It has been running really slow, laggy, jumpy, and just unwell.
What can i do? any reason the fan doesn't seem to blow full power? Fix it?
I'm trying to install win8 latest release to test out if i want to wait for win 8 or just buy a new laptop. BUt
