Q:
A short time ago, when I played games on my XPS1210 laptop, it suddenly got stuck. At the beginning, I thought it was connected with Nvidia GeForce 7400 display card, then after I checked up drivers by running Dell diagnosis application, I don’t think that’s the problem.
Meanwhile, I began noticing that my laptop’s running heat was too much. I ran i8kfangui testing application, and then I found the laptop reached about 70 degrees when running multi tasks. In my opinion, it’s a little too high. Besides, the bottom of the laptop became quite hot. Honestly, to tell the truth, it really makes me uncomfortable when getting this trouble in such a short time.
So I really hope your suggestion and help, thank you so much!
A:
1): Generally speaking, your system temperature is a little too high. When it reaches a certain high number, system would auto cut off power supply, in case it would get further damage. In the BIOS there’s a temperature upper limit option.
2): If there’s full of dust besprinkling on the fan or thermal module, then radiation function would not work that well. 70 degrees is really a little over. But still within excusable range. It would help if you set your fan run ahead. I will set the laptop fan of my customers to run slowly without interruption, and keep the temperature around 40 degrees, or even to about 30 degrees when there’ s no load, and 50 degrees when load completely.
