Laptop gets very hot in x64 bit after upgrade
Hey there - I've been dealing with this problem since last spring. My laptop was built with 4 gigs of ram in it, but with Windows 7 x32 bit it could only utilize 3. So i decided to upgrade to x64 bit but afterwards my computer started to get scorching hot and laggy when playing older games (Final Fantasy XI, League of Legends - games that aren't particularly demanding and played fine in 32 bit). I bought a fan for it which helps half of the time, but trying to play anything newer on it still makes them unplayable. I've tried a multitude of things, including updating the BIOS, checking for dust, trying to download new graphics drivers, downloading speedfan (which doesn't seem to do anything). I've been looking into getting "cool and quiet" drivers but I can't seem to find any or the one that I did get said that it was only for an Asus Laptop (which mine is... i get a similar message when tryng to download the latest drivers from Nvidia- not sure why)
Anyhoo some pertinent specs from my laptop:
Model: Asus N81Vg
OS: Windows 7 Home Ultimate x64 bit.
Graphics: Nvidia Geforce GT 120M.
Intel Core Duo CPU P8600 @2.40 Ghz
4 gigs of ram
I hope somebody can help me out - I can't run my computer like I used to and i'm seriously frustrated at this point that the computer that i bought to play games atleast decently can't really play anything well now.
