Laptop overheating after 20 minutes of use

My 2011 laptop gets very hot if I use longer than 20 minutes approximately.  I don't know what this means and what I need to do

Check your activity monitor in the utilities and see which applications have a large number under medium energy impact.

    Hello

    I think you should test the memory modules.
    The memtest software is OK, but not perfect. You know
    Even though the memtest would not detect any errors, the problem of the ram is possible
    Otherwise, it could be a motherboard problem too.

    1. Click Start, click run, type sysdm.cpl in the Open box, and then click OK.
    2. Click the hardware tab.
    3. Click the Device Manager button.

  • Satellite A300 stops after 5 minutes of use

    Hello

    I recently had my laptop back on the Toshiba Warranty Service that my machine was not able to receive the juice when it is plugged in but it worked fine on battery!
    They replaced the motherboard and taken the power cable and the machine seems to work well!

    Now, I've noticed that when my computer is on and connected to the power supply, after about 5 minutes, or so it is cut!

    When I turn on the machine, it passes through the jargon "your machine has not extinguished properly!
    I also noticed that I'm not hearing any additional fan activity or feeling any flow of additional air that I used once to!

    Anyone think this could be reduced to overheating?

    The machine does not seem to suffer from this problem, so I'm just running on battery power.
    I'm getting a bit fed up if I need to return once again!

    All your comments are welcome!

    > Now, I've noticed that when my computer is on and connected to the power supply, after about 5 minutes, or so it shuts down!

    Hmm, that doesn't sound good and I recommend you to contact the responsible ASP as soon as possible.
    To me, this looks like an overheating problem. If the temperature occurs at a critical level then the cell phone would power off automatically to prevent the equipment from damage.
    You said that you do not hear the coolant running modules?
    This could be a reason why the temperature would be higher and the laptop would be closed.

  • Tecra A7 turns off after 15 minutes of use

    Hello

    I have a Tecra A7 who have a problem it swich off when he uses during15 minutes, I tried with recovery of OS, drivers and update the BIOS, playing with the performace of resources I can use along 30 minutes, but even after a while turns off.
    I am convinced that it is in temperature but aparently fans work properly.

    Thank you

    To me, it looks too much to an overheating problem.
    The best solution is to clean the laptop. The ASP in your country can do this very easily.
    Of course, a use of the compressed air spray might help too

    Good luck

  • CS5 running slow after 15 minutes of use. low yield

    I have done research on this problem for a few months and tried to find a solution online. I have validated my fonts, erased my money of fonts, adjusted my performance settings, turned off openGL, I'm not under plugins except those from Adobe (optionally Multiplugin) as recommended in the doc of optimization.  PS CS5 works in 64 bits, I started my iMac Core 32-bit and 64-bit kernel with no difference. I have no idea what I may be wrong cause PS CS5 to slow to a crawl.

    I work with around 200 to 500 MB and 20-40 layers psd files. When I first open photoshop my efficiancy says his 95-100%, as soon as I started working for more than 15 minutes about it slows down and my efficiancy will increase to 55%. I also got an error about 50% of the time when I try to "horizontal flip of the canvas".

    I find myself closing and reopening photoshop every 45 minutes, which is a huge waste of time.

    Here is the info on my system:

    iMac11, 1
    Processor name: Intel Core i5
    Processor speed: of 2.66 GHz
    Number of processors: 1
    Total number of Cores: 4

    Tile cache size: 1 024 KB

    OpenGL: On, Basic, vertical sync and Anti Alias unchecked. (I got this off the coast, but it did not help either)

    I use my boot drive primary Mac as the drive of my work, I know that maybe it's not the best but what I prepare 1) this should not affect my performance 2) a firewire drive wouldn't be more fast 3) should not have caused to slow down over time.

    I also use a Wacom Intuous 3 with the most recent software update.

    Please let me know if would help more information, I can copy and paste my entire photoshop system information file. Let me know any additional information you may need.

    Thank you!

    I work with Sharon. I think it's maybe because she has * all * the optional extension plug-ins installed.

    I will work with her to remove them and restore preferences to get her back to a State of 'good '.

  • Computer HP laptop G56 - freezes after 5 minutes

    Hello

    My sons laptop hangs after 5 minutes operation.

    The fan was noisey so I replaced in fear of overheating.

    Also, I got out of the State of the check box in the recovery menu.

    However the cell blocks after 5 minutes operation.

    I tried a disk check planning but again once the laptop freezes before it can fill.

    Is this likely to be a problem of disk or memory, or overheating?

    Any help would be great - thanks

    David

    Hi David,

    Your laptop is listed as coming with a 250 GB hard drive, but you can also easily install a 500 GB HARD drive if you want a little more space - readers at the following links are examples that would be perfect for your laptop.

    250 GB hard drive.

    Hard drive 500 GB

    The procedure to replace the hard drive begins on Page 37 of your & Maintenance Guide.

    ************************************

    About reinstalling Windows 7 on new HARD drive, there are two options - I tend to prefer the second option wouldn't it because it costs nothing

    1. you can order a set of replacement recovery disks using the link below - it will reinstall the operating system, all the drivers, and almost all of the original software (the exception being often tests of MS Office).  They will also recreate all of the original scores, including the recovery Partition.  The cost varies a bit depending on where you live, but they are generally inexpensive.

    Order HP recovery disks.

    2 another option that you might consider is to create your own Windows 7 installation disc.

    Before you try the following, make sure that you can always read the character product activation key 25 on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).

    An example of a COA label can be seen here.

    You can create a Windows 7 installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the good Disk Image ( this must be the same version that originally came with your laptop - it is listed as Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit ) from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write an ISO on a disc is here.  The Image comes from a very respected source (Digital River).

    Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.

    Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.

  • Satellite X 200 freezes after 15 minutes of inactivity

    I'm tired of this problem: my laptop freezes after 15 minutes of inactivity and I can get it going again to reset. The problem was solved when I reinstall Vista, but after several months my laptop started hanging up. And my laptop is unable to install Tempro 2.0.3.

    Please, help me to solve this problem and I don't want to reinstall Vista again.

    Hello

    For me it sounds like that a 3rd party software application or is causing this problem because you wrote that after Vista reinstall, the problem has been resolved.

    I put t know this software you have installed, but you need to remove all unnecessary applications as shareware or trial versions.
    Then use CCleaner to clean the registry.
    Visit the Windows update website and install all the updates that are available for your Windows.

    In the worst case, you will need to reinstall Vista again. In my opinion a reinstall from time to time is normal and I have reinstall my laptop every year. So I often have good performance.

  • SAT S1800-921 freezes after 5 minutes

    This laptop freezes after 5 minutes. The only solution is to unplug the power supply. It is usually impossible for something like 20 minutes to restart the computer.
    Already tried operating system sector / boot in the bios-update / reinstall.

    Sometimes when I start the laptop nothing happens at all but the Green led indicating that the laptop is on.

    Anyone suggestions... Please?

    Hi people,

    I don't know any virus that will prevent a computer until it has passed some time. The only thing I know to cause this behavior is overheating causing an internal thermal trigger to operate. It must then cool enough to reset before you can find. Of course the longest (and so more fresh) the laptop's left over it will eventually work before freezing.

    Check that the cooling system is not obstructed in some way (dust or proximity loose papers, fabrics for furniture etc.).

    Kind regards
