| 1300612 | 2012-09-23 09:29:00 | depending on what browser you use, you can use a plugin for mozilla or chrome called 'adblockplus' which pretty much nerfs all ads, save for some non intrusive advertising. Give it a google if you want. Also look into Ccleaner from http://www.piriform.com ,it's a standard piece of kit for all us techy people. Same goes for Malwarebytes Antimalware, as well as a couple other anti spyware suites to taste. (none of them get all items alone, hence using multiple). If you're on xp you can also look into Defraggler from piriform, which is better than the standard windows defrag. Finally, if you haven't upgraded it to the max ram it can take, might pay to look into doing that. As for the actual overheating and shutting down, yea might need a clean out, though you might need to pay someone to do it if you're not sure. |

| 1300614 | 2012-09-23 22:51:00 | ..... to overheat and shut itself down .... This is a serious issue. You may need a new fan, or may have main board issues. If you were ever thinking about replacing the laptop, now would be a good time. A repair could be anywhere from $100(fan) - $300 (main board repair) Sorry, cant recommend one, but try and get a laptop with a fast-ish CPU. i3 or i5 if you can afford it. Some new laptops are incredibly slow, so pick one you like , then search google for owner comments/complaints/reviews. The budget laptops tend to be more or less all as bad as each other, all the brands have made the occasional dud's |
