windows gets squirrely after laptop has warmed up
This is a HP Compaq Presario C700 laptop OS win 7 Home 32bit. When I 1st start up the laptop cold, The laptop is fine. After the laptop has been running for a while the laptop starts getting squirrely. Everything starts taking more time to start, reload screens, the email client takes longer to download and sometimes stalls, same thing with Firefox and Internet Explorer and games. The case over the HDD gets very hot if I don't have the cooling fans on under the laptop and the cooling fan attached to the air exhaust port pulling air out. I have taken the laptop appart and made sure that the air ducts are clean. And I used msconfig to turn a few prog's that were running in the background off when Windows starts. Turning off those prog's helps. I don't know what else to do other then to see if the cpu is over clocked. I am not sure were to check on Win7 for that. I can't afford to replace this laptop right now. I am open to any ideas.
