Solved Peculiar Problems on My Laptop, need help on more repair options

[StrayWanderer]

This is my first time writing down a post on this site, but here goes
Here is the List of Issue on My Poor Laptop:
-Cannot Cold Boot, and Abnormally Slow Boot up time
-Frequent Crash, with some BSOD in some cases on startup.
-Crash/Freeze on Idle, but strangely, not while Playing Games or Using CPU-dependent Programs (Such as Chrome)
-Slow Program Startup Time.
-Frequent Graphic Driver Resets.

I Tried Everything i possible on Both Software and Hardware side:
-Clean the Whole Laptop's internal hardware.
-Using Chkdsk,sfc and Memory Diagnostic (All Came out Green)
-Defrag All Drive
-Downloading New Drivers, with mixed results.
-Using Third Party Software to analyze the Hardware's Integrity (it came out fine on both HDD and RAM)
-Using Safe Mode (It Came out Fine, surprisingly)
if there's any way to Solve the problem, please do Reply, and i would see if i did your solution already, or if your solution do work.

Welcome to the forum. We need more info what happens if you cold boot ie errors on slow start what are you loading in msconfig at start. What is you system specs do you have a ssd or very slow 5400 rpm hd?

I had the same problem, luckily my laptop had a pc health monitor in the bios and I found out it was an overheating problem when fan was not at higher RPM's. When the CPU load was low, fan was off or at low RPM and the laptop crashed usually within 30 minutes. All was fine when the CPU was loaded and its fan worked at higher RPM. I tried compressed air to blow out any dust out, but the laptop still crashed, after a couple of hours when idle. l dismantled the laptop and found out the cooling fins and ducts full of solidified dust. After a thorough cleaning and applying heat fresh transfer paste to CPU/heat transfer pipe contact surfaces, I reassembled it and all is fine now. The main reason was probably the inferior thermal paste losing its efficiency and acting as an insulator. You cold try a third party PC health check monitor and find out what's wrong.

Thanks for the greetings. unfortunately, it's the latter, as it's comes with the Laptop itself

I'll take a look at The PC health check if I can (if you have a recommendation, please do reply.) or maybe taking an intensive cleaning session on the cooling system. Not sure about the thermal paste part, since the cooling system's more of a "Heat Transference" Type rather of a direct cooling one.

Update: Now My Laptop can't even survives to the Login Screen, let alone startup on a normal setup now.
Note: disregard this Massage, false alarm on this one

Ah........wait, i missed about the Transfer Pipe on your quote, still don't know where one usually apply thermal paste on this kind of Cooling system,btw.

Update on the Crash on Startup Issue:
Turns out that LINE (The App) is the one that kept crashing, which somehow drag the whole startup process along with it.
i'll taking care of whatever the problem it's going on later.

 

[StrayWanderer]

Okay okay, disregard on what I said earlier, the true culprit on the startup crash is the driver software.
(Normal startup *without* a driver has no issue at all) Already use DDU and reinstall all drivers back to what it was (no system recovery because somehow my laptop deletes all trace of the Recovery point, manual one that take after cleanup, included.) I'll update this thread later, but I'm still available for advices.

The best thing is to get a ssd drive very cheap now £60 for 512 gig the difference is amazing just done a laptop start time 5 mins loading word 2 min. With ssd start 20 seconds word loads in 15 seconds

Yes, it's Cheap, but i can't afford it.
Plus, i planned to upgrade it to 1TB/7200Rpm soon too. but thanks for a suggestion.

I recommend adding an external usb cooling assembly (one giant fan or twin fans), keep temps down a bit, laptop might still get quite warm, however, almost never hot enough to cause a sudden, unannounced, shutdown.

funnily enough, i do have a twin fan extension, although, i have find an actual source of a problem, and is going to solve the another one (ie. cleaning the whole cooling system)

conclusion: i have found both solution to both problem, although there's a another problem unrelated to this topic, but i'll put it somewhere more appropriate.
