Something similar happened to my daughter's laptop when she watched movies. The laptop would get very warm and then freeze up. A Google search showed that enough lint would accumulate in the fins of the heatsink causing the cpu to overheat. This Dell laptop had provisions to remove a bottom cover to inspect the heatsink. I found a huge wad of lint trapped in the heatsink blocking all air flow. Removed the lint and problem solved. On May 19, 2014, at 7:21AM, "Dave Wade dave.g4ugm@... [LTspice]" wrote: ? There might also be BIOS updates to switch the fan on sooner, or slow the CPU down more quickly when it gets over warm... On 19 May 2014 12:51, ehydra ehydra@...
