Okay, here's my lovely little problem. My comp is reading about 75~80 degrees Celcius on the temperature monitor checked through nTune. I've read on some forums that that's normal perhaps while you're playing a game.

BUT! This is the temperature I get when I first turn on the computer.

Should I go get it checked up by a computer shop?

Here's what I've got:

HP Pavilion dv2700 Notebook PC
AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-60 2.00 GHz
RAM: 2943 GB
32-bit OS

nVIDIA GeForce 7150M / nForce630M

OVERHEAT probably...

Please let your computer REST about 8 hours (while you are sleeping)
turn it off COMPLETELY as in UNPLUG it if you want but i think thats too much... lol!

EDIT: hhmm...do you mean 1st time you turn on?as in it was OFF for long hours?

Well, my computer was off the whole day (meaning 12 hrs+) while I was at school... then I came back. It's been like this for a couple of weeks and yeah...

wow...

you need a COOLING SYSTEM then...

buy the ones with liquid in it... not those ordinary fans...

and make sure that theres some AIR circulating in the room or near the LAPTOP.

Okie, I'll look into those then... thanks.

Next time I'm buying a PC... no laptop D<

What do you mean by liquid cooling system? O_O

I've been looking at fan cooling systems and... idk. Mixed reviews. I'm thinking about getting one but can't decide which one because for every good review for product X, there's another equally disturbing one.

But I've never heard of liquid cooling systems before. o-o

**Loveless** · 08-09-2008, 08:34 AM

Yeah, same here... I hear the bad and the good so I really can't decide. ><

My laptop doesn't actually get that hot anyway. Not yet anyway (and I've been running Fiesta for a while while multitasking and doing other things). But it would be nice to have something like this:

Which I think is very discreet, compact, and clean looking. But supposedly they break down after 3 months or something. I dunno. Mixed reviews ftl.

Or I could get something like this:

Which does diddly squat about cooling and looks humongous to carry around but at least it elevates my computer a bit.

*sigh*

I am not a laptop fan, espcially the keyboards xD

It could most probably benefit from a good cleaning. Dust and dirt on the inside components is like wrapping them in a sweater and it can reduce cooling by blocking airflow.

If you're comfortable with opening it up, and if that won't violate the warranty, then break it down and clean it up. If you can't open it up then do the best you can to clear the airways with q-tips and buy a can or two of compressed air to shoot through it.
