My first couple of computers were refurbs. I got them from local repair shops for cheap. One was a completely refurbished DEC workstation system for $300 (CPU, monitor, keyboard, mouse, speakers, Windows), and the second was a complete Dell Optiplex system for $250. Both were only 2 or 3 years old at the time and worked perfectly.
Hello again,
Okay I have just opened resource monitor and took a picture of it. It is uploaded in this post. What do I do now?
I've thought about it for a bit and I'd like to try to fix this overheating thing as easy as possible so I don't have to buy a new laptop. I will buy a new one as a last resort but I found some other things I'd like to spend my money on, unless I must buy a new laptop.
Thanks all
Temps after my laptop being on for 1 day are below
but it gets around 80 Celsius when I open more things.
Hi,
Yep just another basket case with probably the same issue as the original :)
This will probably fix both,
When manually installing updates you need to switch your update settings to Never check for updates and restart the machine first.
Windows Update Settings - Change
After restart verify that the windows update service is not running if it is Stop and switch to Manual apply and okay.

Hi,
Thank you I have installed the updates. My question is though how is it going to help my temps though?
Thanks
Hi,
Installing the updates might help svchost.exe find other missing updates
Which is why svchost has been such a pain in the processors back side causing overheating/ limiting resources and causing people to buy other machines trying to escape the issue :)
In other words svchost is causing the issue 9 out of 10 times and it has been connected with the windows update service getting suck searching for updates in the background.
Ah, ok. Thanks
What is the temp you recommend on my latitude d630?
Right now the highest mine gets is high 70's, but only when lots of things are running (open web browser windows, lots of videos running, etc) I'd assume that's normal right? Wouldn't anything get hot from that? (besides a desktop)
Hi,
My 6 year old gateway laptop hits about 55c doing multiple items similar to what you list
What is your Idle temp because mine hits about 39-40c doing nothing sometimes lower.
Hi,
Not terrible does it show a load at all using Core temp or real temp to monitor the temperatures
I forget which one you're using ?
