| 1429305 | 2016-12-01 05:22:00 | Actually newer versions of Linux don't always work on older hardware either. As I have found on several occasions when wanting to use a Live distro | gary67 (56) | ||
| 1429306 | 2016-12-01 05:49:00 | "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 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. So basically it's simply because there's no chipset drivers for Windows 10? Could that possibly cause incorrect readings in temperature monitoring software? Of note, that laptop arrived in my hands with Windows 10 (and a licence for Vista), but the newer one (ASUS N61JQ) had Windows 7 :stare: |

Of note, that laptop arrived in my hands with Windows 10 (and a licence for Vista), but the newer one (ASUS N61JQ) had Windows 7 :stare: Its only a guess, and one "possible" cause. In the past I've had older laptops that are not meant to be compatible with W10, but the install works fine but some items (like internal Wireless cards or function keys) simply not working because the manufactures didn't make any drivers that were compatible with W10. Sometimes older W7 /8.1 drivers may work sometimes not. On the ASUS M50VC, on their site drivers only for Vista or W7. Looked on quite a few other places that "Claim" to have W10 drivers - simply couldn't find any that didn't prompt malware popups and fake files and none listed the M50VC. Even intel who manufacture the chipset, I couldn't locate any drivers/software newer than W7. Even now, one thing that happens quite a bit is Older Laptops with (AMD Graphics are the worst) can often fail causing all sorts of problems like screen s locking or simply going to a black screen. This is because AMD simply no longer support old hardware with Newer OS's. To minimize the overall load if you haven't done so yet, disable the items like in the video I posted earlier, you'll get instant speed after a reboot, and have a look under task manager /start up , disable everything that doesn't have to run, Eg: Skype, one drive (Unless you use it) PDF programs, and what ever else is there. If the software says its hot, yet it feels cold /cool I'd be more tempted to believe what is felt. The Compaq DV6 for example, they are known for overheating problems, and often get so hot they would burn if on your lap/knees/Skin. |

As I have found on several occasions when wanting to use a Live distro Sure, but from my short experience with "Mint" is it's much more compatible for the ‘Man in the Street” than the “Geek Orientated, Invasive, Win 10” and "Mint" works fine on my old XP machine. I guess it depends how far you want to get involved in "IT Masochism". |

I have, and not one of those are conclusive proof that Windows 10 "overheats" your laptop. Running a new OS isn't helpful, the OP has already stated that, this is the last time I'm going to ask you nicely to drop it. |

| 1429311 | 2016-12-01 20:52:00 | Could it be bad temp sensors? (e.g. Termo strips/Thermistor). Could check temp with a IR temp Gun, and compare with other working CPU/CPC. | kahawai chaser (3545) | ||
| 1429312 | 2016-12-01 23:59:00 | Any of these results help? Most mention driver issues. www.google.co.nz |
