Specs
C2D T7400
3GB RAM
7600go (POS!
)
I leave this laptop on 24/7, used as a desktop with an external monitor. Every morning, it will simply shut down after maybe 1 minute of use. The area over the video card is HOT when this happens, so I am assuming it is heat related (no proper shutdown, just "click" and done). If I give it a few minutes to cool, I can start it back up and use it all day until I get out of bed the next morning. This is annoying as hell. HELP!
Oh, I have opened it and cleaned the heatsinks, and will be remounting them both when I pick up my paste from storage, but the fan only seems to turn on when first booting. I have the latest BIOS, drivers, etc. running Win7 Ultimate. Weird thing is I can run torture tests and it doesn't shut off. 24 hour stable on MemTest.
