surf,
You have an excellent laptop.
My approach to these problems is different.
First, forget SpeedFan. That can do you more harm than good. With a laptop and lenovo, the laptop will automatically be throttled and the fan controlled. You can not improve using SpeedFan.
What you can do is install SPECCY (link in my signature) and use SPECCY to keep an eye on your temps. do let us know the current temps when the computer is busy.
What I need you to do is to fully update your specs which helps us to help you.
Update your SevenForums System Specs
User CP (located on the top menu bar)
|
Your Profile | Edit System Spec (left-hand column)
To gather info, use
Speccy (my favorite) or
SIW or
System Info
In the
System Manufacturer Block, enter:
Manufacturer and Model and
ADD the word
laptop, desktop, netbook or tablet.
For example:
Toshiba Satellite L305D notebook.
Provide full windows version info, for example:
MS Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 64-bit
Use the “Other Info” block for Optical Reader,
Mouse, touchpad, wifi adapter, speakers, monitor, etc
Scroll down and click on
SAVE CHANGES.
You will find that in Speccy, you can select info from the display
using your mouse/touchpad and then paste that info into your specs.
SIW is a marvelous program, but the free version does not offer
this capability.
=================================================

Under Optional updates you will be presented with a list of about 34 language updates.

a) highlight all of the language updates,
b) right-click anywhere in the highlighted list.

UPDATE GOLDEN RULES
Install
ALL, yes,
ALL updates.
This is Win 7 and not Vista or XP (eXPired).
UPDATE IS HUNG –TAKING FOREVER
Hung is very doubtful unless you interrupted updates.
CTRL + SHIFT + ESC key combo will pop-up the Task Manager.

While holding them down, tap the
ESC key once.
