| 210723 | 2005-04-13 05:58:00 | I have exactly the same problem but only on Full Screen Games (something to do with running in DOS mode as the CPU runs at 100% all the time). It also does the same when running other DOS applications (I run Windows XP on a Compaq Evo N1000v laptop. Actually here is something that explains it: I use a freeware program for normal DOS applications called DosIdle.com - email: ABLEsoft@gmx.de "Under Windows NT an higher, the CPU usage mostly climps up to 100%, when you use an DOS program. With this little program the CPU usage slow down dramaticaly." For me my laptop didn't overheat when first new......then it started too...I got it serviced & just by blowing out some dust from the one of the fans made all the difference....it must be just on the limit of over heating as it fixed it for about 10 months...but now over heats again. My horrible crude solution for now is to have one of those room fans right next to the laptop pointing at it, after starting game or what ever, leave CD drawer partly open to help with heat dissapation. The laptop also sits on a couple of thin bits of wood to leave air to circulate underneath! I think I'll buy one of those notebook cooling pads, once I suss them out. Hope this helps, or if someone else could shed light on the problem...that would be good. :thumbs: |
