windows-7 laptop cpu shutdown cooling
I’ve recently been getting in to playing PC games on my laptop, but unfortunately nearly every time I play, my computer overheats and shuts off after 5-10 minutes. Although I have not checked the temperature while playing (I don’t want it to overheat again), I can hear the fan whirring progressively louder as the game runs until it shuts down. Here are my specs:Model: Lenovo Win7 PC Processor: Intel Core i7-2670QM CPU @ 2.2 GHz RAM: 8 GB OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-BitI really know nothing abo

cooling temperature throttling
I just wrote a script to throttle a heavy number-crunching program, to prevent the CPU from overheating. I can set any upper temperature limit, and successfully keep the CPU always below that limit. (Actually, my script predicts the temperature a few seconds ahead from current and recent temperatures, so it can throttle the main program before reaching the threshold, but this is a technical detail.)Question: What should that limit be? What considerations should go into picking the limit? Rou

mac portable cooling
I have a 15″ unibody MacBook Pro that often gets so hot on the left side that it is uncomfortable to type. I just bought a cooling pad which has helped a lot, but I’m wondering if something is wrong with my computer? Have we as computer users come to accept this kind of behavior from our portables?

cpu cooling overheating
My friend had a problem with his computer a while back. His games were crashing, even within the menus. He was stumped as to what the problem was, so I posted on here requesting help. He found out the day later, when his computer would start up but wouldn’t display anything on the screen. His video card must have came screwed up. So, he got a replacement.Now, there’s a new problem. His temperatures, which were acceptable before, are now insanely high. His GPU temperature runs 70-80c, which is un

cpu overclocking cooling
I keep reading since years about magical overclockability of modern CPUs. It is said that CPUs (with open multiplier) which are shipped to customers with (let’s say) preset 3GHz, can be overclocked “without problems” to (let’s say) 4GHz.But I can’t believe that CPU manufacturers are fooling themselves. I am thinking: should a CPU always support 1GHz higher clock rate without problems, why not sell such CPU with 1GHz more preset?Would you say, that my assumption is correct, that in fact there are

cpu cooling
In my particular case(a laptop), a program (or the entire OS) might get stuck. And I have to reset.Why would a processor fail anyway when it overheats? And what fails with these kind of symptoms?The only thing I can come up with is that something melts. But that would sound irreversible, while if I turn off my overheated laptop, and turn it on again (after a few minutes) everything is still ok.just wondering!

cpu gpu cooling
I have a GTX570 and a i5-3570k processor. Lately, I’ve been having problems with games randomly crashing and my pc rebooting while playing them. I’ve encountered a weird problem: while running a GPU-stress test (FurMark) my cpu seems to overheat. After about 10 minutes, my GPU as well as my CPU reach about 82-83 degrees celcius. Around this point my pc reboots, when it restarts I get the error message: “CPU over temp problem”. Which is weird since I’m not stressing my CPU… What could the possi

cooling fan overheating
I have an nVidia GTS250 that, in the last couple of months, has decided that it has a problem with newer games. Older games are fine, but anything made in the last couple of years will eventually make the system crash and apparently bluescreen (although I never actually see it). Googling the bluescreen code suggests it’s an overheating issue; running a heat monitor reveals my CPU runs at a crisp 60ºC when idle but my GPU sits at 85ºC when idle.

external-hard-drive cooling
I have a WD My Passport Essential (Model number WD 2500ME/2500BEV) connected to a USB 2.0 front connector in an old Emachines box. Occasionally (thus far only observed in Windows XP) the drive will randomly disconnect with the general Windows dings, pause for a few seconds, then reconnect. This seems to occur when the drive is not in active use, although I’m not sure if an active portable program thats in the background quality as active use.At first I thought this was overheating, but the drive

cpu motherboard power-supply cooling temperature
I have an Intel Desktop Board with an Intel Pentium D processor installed. My problem is that the processor stays warm when idle i.e. 55 degrees C . But under load the temperature rises drastically i.e. a scorching 76 degrees C.Similarly the CPU Heat Sink Fan spins extremely fast thus emitting a lot of noise.I have well applied the thermal paste (Silicon Thermal Tape) but no improvements.I had noticed the v12 voltage operating at v10.55. This situation had been for quite sometime. Until then i b

cooling temperature gpu specifications
I’m running a passively cooled HD Radeon 6870 in my PC. While using 3D Acceleration, the temperature climbs up to 95 degrees Celsius according to SpeedFan. It seems a bit hot, but on the other hand I’ve seen other GPUs being specified to run up to 120 Degrees Celsius. The system is very stable, but Battlefield 3 crashes every few hours or so. On the other hand it might be the game’s fault and not related to the GPU temperature at all. Does anyone know where I can find some manufacturer specs on

linux temperature cooling chipset
I’m interested in reducing the load on the motherboard chipset, or at least, finding what causes the overheating…I have an HP ProBook 4720s with Ubuntu 12.04, which is slightly overheating. The laptop has an motherboard with the Intel HM57 Express chipset (TDP 3.5W), which becomes quite hot (59-64 degrees Celsius), even if the laptop stays idle. The problem is also described here: notebookreview. From that forum, I think, that the problem is not related to the OS. The Intel HM57 chip is not co

windows-vista laptop cooling
For a long time I’ve had a Compaq nc8430 laptop. It’s nearly 3 years old now. Originally shipped with WinXP, but I installed Vista on it. From the very start it was not a good experience.This thing has one of those “stickpoint” mice, which I like. After a while, I noticed that the computer was generating lots and lots of heat. So much heat, that the stickpoint bumper would melt and disintegrate. Normally I would expect heat if the CPU was working hard, but even when the CPU was idle, the com

windows-7 performance fan cooling acer-aspire
I have a fan on my laptop that doesn’t turn on often enough. The computer doesn’t crash, but becomes very laggy. When the fan turns on the computer starts running fast again. How can I keep the fan on? I use Acer Aspire 5733Z on Windows 7. I tried SpeedFan but it couldn’t detect the fan.

cooling fan amd-catalyst amd-radeon manual
I’d like to enable AMD Overdrive and Manual Fan Control in Catalyst Control Center and reduce fan speed to minimum (20%) but I’m afraid what happens if I start using the card heavily and forget to disable Manual Fan Control.Will it disable by itself when temperature reaches some dangerously high value or will the fan will stay obediently at low speed and GPU will crash or gets damaged due to overheating?

monitoring temperature cooling
Possible Duplicate:Recommend a free temperature-monitoring utility for cores + video card, on Vista? My friend has a problem. His computer turns off itself time to time. We suspect something is overheating, but we need to check it for sure. Is there some application (for Windows) which can monitor temperatures and store it to disk in realtime, so it is available for reading after the crash?

cpu cooling
I had an problem, with heat and it made the pc crash, it shutted down itself (crash boom, not nicely). After that it looks like my Quadcore 3.0Ghz CPU isn’t working properly anymore, although the test say they do. I used to run : skype – livestream producer – tanki onlinebattle , all at once with just 50-60% CPU usage. Now i can’t , because the livestream producer immideialty says CPU over 80% and it shows 100%. I tried overclocking from 3.0 until 3.3Ghz which makes a little difference, but ther

laptop troubleshooting crash cooling
I’ve got an LG R500 Notebook that has started crashing. It usually crashes in Windows (Vista, all updates installed) when playing a game. The symptom is that the screen goes dark and then the notebook shuts down. I suspect Windows is forcing hibernation due to overheating.The other day something similar happened in Linux: while playing a video the screen switched to console mode and displayed an error about an ACPI fan problem.I suspect my video card is overheating.The notebook is just out of

motherboard graphics-card crash cooling
5 minutes after I turn on my PC the onboard graphics card is usually over 80° celsius and then crashes (random colors on screen, only way to get out is to just plug out the pc).I haven’t installed any new drivers or added/changed hardware recently Everything went fine until yesterdayWhat should I do next? Do I have to buy a new mainboard right now?There is no fan on the onboard graphics card, only a heatsink.

crash cooling
Two days ago, I started running into a problem with my Windows PC: The PC’s two connected monitors simultaneously lose signal and go black (as though the PC had been powered off). The keyboard’s Numlock, Capslock, and Scroll Lights will become “stuck” in their current positions, as though the PC is hung. (For example, the Numlock light on the keyboard remains lit regardless of me pressing the Numlock key repeatedly.) No keyboard input does anything. (Ctrl+Alt+Del, Ctrl+Shift+Esc, Ctrl+C, etc.)

memory dell-poweredge cooling
I have removed and installed ram-chips from laptops and desktops before, but this is the first time I am doing it on a server (Dell PowerEdge T110 2). The hardware manual cautions that a memory-module blank must be installed if a ram-chip is removed for proper cooling of the system. My question is – since I don’t have a memmory-module blank, should I really get one or can I simply remove the ram chip?Some background:Upon performing MemTest86, I found that one ram chip has a huge number of faults

datacenter server-room cooling
From what I read and hear about datacenters, there are not too many server rooms which use water cooling, and none of the largerst datacenters use water cooling (correct me if I’m wrong). Also, it’s relatively easy to buy an ordinary PC components using water cooling, while water cooled rack servers are nearly nonexistent.On the other hand, using water can possibly (IMO):Reduce the power consumption of large datacenters, especially if it is possible to create direct cooled facilities (i.e. the f
