Those temperatures do look high for the load, have you considered improving the air circulation by raising the back of the laptop a few CM from what ever you have it sitting on? You could also get a cooling pad to lower your temperatures.
My other notebook is even hotter than this one when i play games on it, but it still worked perfectly for the past 2 years.
I have concidered buying a cooling pad, the time has come, i guess.
But i find it wierd that it only now started giving me bsods, it worked just fine for over half a year.
BSODs can happen at any time, a BSOD only really occurs if Windows has noticed a error with the system; my step-brother's laptop has a BSOD when it was brand new.
So, based on all the BSODs i had since i started this thread, do you think that overheating IS the problem here?
Since we tried a lot of things already and nothing fixed the problem completely.
Some of those things definitely helped a lot, i used to get bsods every 20 mins of playing LoL, now im only getting BSODs when playing the newer games which require a lot of resources.
It could be, overheating can cause a few problems, such as damaging the hardware, which can then lead to further crashes.
But wouldnt the tests show that the hardware is damaged?
I didn't say that your hardware was damaged necessarily, I meant it in a general sense, that hardware can become damaged from overheating over a period of time; no software program is perfect either.
Well, since the last time i got myself a cooling pad and it didnt help much at all.
Also, the problem wasnt solved the last time i was here, i just found a way around it.
I didnt get any bsods playing LoL or GuildWars2 when my CPU speed was at 85-95%, tho the performance sucked ass due to Intell Turbo Boost being turned off.
And i was ok with that, untill i decided to try Minecraft, just to find out that it gives me blue screens every 20 or so minutes no matter what my max CPU speed is, which i found wierd.
I also ran driver verifier after that, and it didnt take long before i got another Bsod.
My pc just crashed when i clicked the minecraft icon, even before the game window opened, which
was also wierd.
Maybe this time we can figure something out.
And if this trully is a hardware problem, i will contact the store that i got my pc from. They should probably fix it since its still on warranty, or at least i believe it still is
