Temp gauge for laptops?

[jonesnewton]

Can anyone suggest one or more of these for a Acer Aspire 5738z, with Win 7 64 bit?

I use Speecy from Piriform.com. Which is free.
I am sure there are others.

Piriform - Download CCleaner, Defraggler, Recuva, Speccy - Millions of users worldwide!

Hi, thanks.. I too have that but when my laptop freezes I cannot see it, so is there one that shows in the tool bar or somewhere??

Here's an interesting article to look over.
Laptop Temperatures: What's the Best Temperature and How To Check Your Laptop CPU Temperature

Not sure of one that you can display in your tool bar.

Core Temp will display in your system tray.

I would recommend using the stand alone version under other downloads to avoid the download manager and other unwanted extras.

What is causing your laptop to freeze?
1. Check in msconfig to see what you have in start up
2. Using DOS Commmand(Run as Admin) try running sfc /scannow to see if you have any problems there.

My concern is not just have a gauge to display on your laptop but what is freezing it and how often.

Forgot to mention that sfc /scannow takes a little time.
If you get a message telling you it found the problem and repaired it then reboot and run it again.
NoN, another member here, helped me with temp problems and Windows update. Now my laptop is running great!

jones,
Derek is spot on with the tutorial.
I takes a few minutes to run so be patient.
Let us know what you find out.

I also recommend Core Temp. Get it from here and you won't have to worry about unwanted extras. use the U.S. Mirror.

I found my computer will crash if I'm running Speccy while also running Macrium Reflect at the same time. I don't have that problem with Core Temp.

Looks like the install IQ is in that one too.

Drat! Looks like MajorGeeks has also gone to the dark side. It wasn't there when I got Core Temp from there last year.

I found another place to get Core Temp from that is safer and corrected my original post. I checked it with MBAM and no PUPs showed up.

Always good to have another source.

Hi THW & Derek,

I have ran SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker but nothing showing up yet? I will go thro all options in this..
Thanks

Have you done full or complete scans with SAS or MBAM yet?

These scans will take up to at least an hour + apiece,
