| 1429297 | 2016-11-30 08:42:00 | . I'm trying to diagnose a hardware issue. Okay, so its OK normally but heats up under a Load ? Lets take it one step at a time, ( would be a lot easier if I had the Laptop here then it would be easier to see what s actually happening), But hey, 20 questions. :D When it heats up - have a look in the task manager - what is ( approx) the cpu Usage. ? Just a Thought -- Since you mentioned earlier in the first post it was the older Laptop, what graphics does it have AMD or Nvidia /Intel ?? |

I'm using Battery Eater Pro to put a load on the PC (meh, I had it anyway) and the CPU usage shoots up to 100% :D Has NVIDIA graphics. | pcuser42 (130) | ||
| 1429299 | 2016-11-30 21:30:00 | I pulled the fan out and gave the whole thing a blast with compressed air. Ah, but did you pull the heatsink/fan assembly apart to get at the dust caked where you can't see it? I've seen some laptops where the fins are completely blocked, yet you wouldn't know without disassembly. |

| 1429301 | 2016-12-01 01:04:00 | "MAY " have found your problem . Could be completely wrong but who knows . Bit of History first -- CPU fan temp / Fan speed by default is governed by the motherboard . Looking at the ASUS site, the M50VC is NOT on the Windows 10 Support list . asus . com/us/support/FAQ/1013416/" target="_blank">www . asus . com Reason could be its to old, there are only drivers available for Vista & W7 . The chipsets etc control everything, including fan speed, looking a bit deeper - that board is meant to have a Mobile Intel PM45 Express Chipset . Looking even further on the intel site, they don't appear to have any W10 Drivers either only XP- W7 . The last BIOS update for that Board on ASUS was in 2009 . Since ASUS say the Model is not compatible with W10, what this usually means is while W10 may install and possibly run, certain functions may not work properly or at all due to chipsets not being supported . The fan going flat out under load is normal, if it is getting hot then you want it to speed up to cool it . Normally if its running hot you will get warm/hot air out the ducts and it WILL feel hot . I got hold of that battery Eater you mentioned and tried it on a old Compaq, temp stayed normal at around 45, in fact if anything it dropped after 1-2 minutes, and the fans didn't speed up . |

| 1429302 | 2016-12-01 04:35:00 | Why don’t we cut to the chase? The bottom line is that Windows 10 is quite deliberately not backward compatible to previous Operating systems in a number of ways. Their goal is to force Windows users into Windows 10 and give Microsoft complete control of the Computers that it’s installed on. Simple really and poorly disguised. I’ll go on record as saying, get out and try a Linux Operating System, and Mint would be my recommendation to “greenhorns”. Oh, and pcuser, if you still think you have a hardware fault, take out the CPU and file off all the fungus on the bottom. That should stop it overheating. ;) |

| 1429303 | 2016-12-01 04:50:00 | B.M., please go away. You're not helping. | pcuser42 (130) | ||
| 1429304 | 2016-12-01 05:15:00 | The OS itself won't be causing the issue here. It's not helping B.M. mate, so if you could please tone down the trolling, that would be much appreciated. This is not up for discussion. |
