1106372 2010-06-03 02:26:00 One thing i've noticed recently is that this laptop gets extremely hot after a couple of minutes. About 4 months ago, right before the problem occurred, my laptop started shooting out balls of silica gel. Maybe that is clogging the fan...
But my fan doesn't look like in any state of damage...

I am eager to fix this problem, Please help me.

Thanks


It's overheating! Get it cleaned out now!
(Silica gel?? More likely to be balls of dust after 5 years of use with little maintenance).

Are you sure they were silica gel and not actually part of the fan itself? Either way, I would be investigating THAT rather than worrying about what programs you have installed.

Sounds like it's overheating for some reason to me too.

If it's 4 years old it might just be clogged full of dust... if you're confident you should open the thing up and clean it (or if you're not, get a repair place to do it for you)

Do you think the computer crashing is because of a virus or just the memory causing problems?


There will be 2 slots at a minimum, 1 will probably be under the keyboard.....and you still have no probably getting RAM for the lappy here in NZ, I have a Toshiba from 2002 that I got RAM for a couple of months ago!

I would be concerned about your statement of silicon getting pushed out of the fan grill!! Doesnt sound good to me!

edit - just noticed someone already advised RAM and overheating!
