G500 seems to be overheating

Hello community, I've bought my LENOVO G500 laptop on autumn 2014 and in the latter days my notebook seems to be overheating. I've downloaded from web some soft, that calculates the temperature of CPU, motherboard and hard drive. It shows about 60 degree by celcius. Is that normal? I'm asking that, because, there is really hot under my left hand and it's becoming impossible to use the computer comfortably. I didn't "opened" the notebook and it didn't fail to the ground of harmed. My laptop's configuration: i3 3110M 8GB RAM Windows 8.1. Any suggestions, ideas? I appologize for my afwul english and thank you in advance.

Hi Sir,
Welcome to the Forums
As per the query we understood that you are facing issue with system overheating in your Lenovo G500 laptop.
Try to clean the dust through dust removal application, go to energy manager and select maintenance guide and select dust removal application and check for the issue.
Also try to update the BIOS and check for the issue.
Click here for the BIOS update for windows 7,8,8.1.
Hope this helps. Do post back if the issue persists.
Best regards,
Ashwin. S

My macbook seems to be overheating

Sorry to bother you but just two days ago I recieved a Macbook Pro '13 inch as a present. I've been told how great these laptops are. However my macbook seems to overheat often. I've searched up a few discussions and its said to keep it on a flat surface, which I do and that happens to be my desk. It's got enough space to breath and its not surrounded by dust.
However I'm a person who likes to download alot and watch movies and it still overheats. I've been told about SMC but not quite sure about.
As a new apple user I'm confused, can you please help me out?

it's not overheating, macs just run hot..especially when watching movies or playing games. Your mac would automatically shut down if it got to the point where it would get so hot it might cause damage.

What will HP fix on the pavilion 9400 series? Mine seems to be overheating

Ive seen several referenced postings in the forum to overheating and other issues with this series model of laptop. I bought one used, reloaded it to factory image, and its exhibiting slowdowns, like its running at half speed, after about 2 hours. I suspect over temp, but havent put a temp monitoring sw package on it yet. Its not a processor load issue based on what I see in Task manager, and its got 2G of ram, showing under 35% utilized average.
But I did recently update the bios to almost the most recent version (web page wouldnt provide the latest version, broken link) thinking that HP may have changed the algorithims on when the fan runs
Ive seen a link to a list of problems that HP will fix for this series, but the link is stale. Can anyone provide an update as to what HP will fix and what they wont? And is this for warranty work only or is there a recall on the unit, other than the battery?
Regarding the otemp situation, anyone have suggestions on what to do to make this thing a bit more reliable, like how to clean out fan unit and cooling chamber, etc?
BTW the exact model is a pavilion dv9408nr

thanks for UR response...
I agree and assumed if it affected the index that it would be by a small amount 1 or 2 tenths in possibly 1 or 3 area's. The FSB is a important one in regards to if this system can actually handle the faster memory. Or like U said the system will just downgrade it...
I could save some money if I just bought one 8 gig strip of the slower memory and replaced the 2 gig strip I have and end up with 12 gigs total. But once again what does this really do for me? I do play games... That is why I asked in original post if it actually would give me more total video memory by doing the upgrade.
With the current 6 gigs of memory what is max % the video can use. If I increase to 12 or 16 gigs what is max % the video can use?
HP Employee might be needed to answer these questions.
Thanks once again for UR response!

Any idea why my my MBP seems to be overheating?

I've always noticed that it gets hot when its not sitting on a hard surface like a table but now it seems to do it all the time. Its an early 2009 model and I recently just updated to Lion. I'm getting ready to update the RAM to 8GB and I'm hoping that the unit is just using more power to run Lion and that the RAM upgrade will fix it but if not, what other possibilites are there? I really don't want my baby to fry

Hi K,
In general, Lion has been running hotter for people. Sometimes a process can run amok and use more of the CPU than it should, potentially causing a slowdown and/or heat issues and/or other issues. To check on this, first use your Mac as you normally would, the longer the better (checking this right after starting up may not show you anything). After you’ve used your Mac for awhile (again, the longer the better), go to Applications > Utilities > open Activity Monitor > in the top menu at right, select All Processes in the drop down menu > click on the column heading titled % CPU (this will update continuously, showing the percentage each process is using) > toward the bottom left of the window, click on CPU (this will show % Idle, which will also tell you how much of the CPU is being used).

Computer seems to be overheating

While working on the computer I started smelling something that smelled like plastic burning - then it started smelling like something electrical. Some others in my office came in because the smell had filtered through the office and we determined the smell was coming from the back of my computer. It was still working when I turned it off and I tried starting up again later and it did - but I have had many problems before now. I had to have my logic board replaced recently because I was having trouble with the screen. Since then I have had to erase the hard disk and do a complete reload of software because I could not OSx to start up (when trying to do so fan ran continously - have seen on many other posts).
I think I had read on an earlier post (when I was trying to correct the startup problem) that the first of the iMac G5 flat panels had a problem with the fans not cooling the machine properly. My extended warranty ran out in December - but if this is a problem that Apple is aware of has anyone been able to get theirs replaced or repaired without warranty coverage? Email support unavailable to me since warranty expired..... Please help!!

I'll have to check - I'm not in the office today. But when I sent the computer in for the logic board replacement they said it would run out in December. I purchased it in Nov 2004, and I thought I purchased the extended warranty - but I may be mistaken. The paper work is at my office and I'm working from home today on another computer.
I have called the local Apple repair store and he said it sounded like a power supply problem and it would probably be covered (he didn't explain why) but when I tried to email tech support here and used my serial number - Apple Care said it was not warranted.
Thanks for your help. I hope I have caught the problem before too much damage. I love Apple computers and that is all my business and I have ever owned. This is the first computer in 10 years in which we have had any problems - but because there have been so many in such a short amount of time - and it's "mine" - it's helpful to get information from someone who has had the same trouble.
Thanks again!

How to fix iMac g5 - 17" overheating problem

Hi,
I have an iMac G5 (17") which seems to be overheating. The fans turn-on about 10-15 min after start-up. Occasionally, the machine will go to sleep. Not the usual sleep-mode but a sleep mode in which all processes seem to stop.
If I place the machine near an open window with a stream of cool air all the sysmptoms disappear so I feel overheating is a reasonable diagnosis.
Any ideas about fixing this ?

I have had the random shut down problem for months, however, thing were fine for 2.5 years previously. I have an Imac G5 made in June 2005, and I believe my problem was due to over heating. I finally discovered this...there is a "?program?" in your imac called the SMU, the System Management Unit. The SMU controls everything electrical in your computer, all power routing. You can reset the SMU in my computer by unplugging all cables from the computer and then removing the power plug in the back for ten seconds or so and then when you plug the power cord back in, simultaneously hold down the start up button. Once plugged in let go of the start up button. Plug back in your other cables and hit the start button again. Since doing this the computer has worked properly under stress for the past 72 hours, ie., internet always on, all programs opened, repeated sleep/wake cycles, etc. I believe that a fan or fans were not working for whatever reason, and that the machine overheated and shut itself off, and that by resetting the SMU it put the cooling system back on track. You can find out more about resetting the SMU at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1767 You can probably find a way to similar info for your imac if not like mine from that site. Of course, as soon as I send this the ** thing will shut down....hahahaha. The worst thing about this is the complete and total silence from Apple, and it will be quite sometime before I buy another Imac. Good luck.

HT4543 iMac overheating

My iMac seems to be hot on the top left corner, seems to be overheating . Any advice?

The istatpro link is dead. I have the same problem as Keef66 though. Anyone know of any utilities that would give me the internal temps of my iMac? Every few weeks, while in Safari, the whole 'puter shuts down (locks up), and I have to reboot (by holding down the power button). Then it seems fine again. My son, a PV aficionado, thinks it's the video card. He thinks I just need to clean the dust out of the case of the iMac, and it will be fine again. Anyone know if the video card is in the upper left hand corner of the iMac?

Thinkpad Twist Overheating

I had a Lenovo Twist with several problems and after 4 unsuccessful repairs I have just received a new replacement Twist. I have had it for about 10 days and just noticed today that it seems to be overheating constantly. I downloaded a few temperature monitoring programs like Open Hardware Monitor, and its showing the average temp is 89 degrees Celsius. I'm pretty sure it should be about half of this. This is in energy saver battery mode, low screen brightness, and only Chrome and MS Word open. Why is this happening all of a sudden and how can it be resolved? I haven’t done anything different or made any changes since this started happening. At this point it’s very uncomfortable to even use the laptop at all. Any ideas?

RSTWmiService.exe - Intel RAID Storage Technology Driver %25TrustedInstaller.exe - Windows Modules Installer %25 ( even i set it to - Check for updates but let me choose to download and install ) these are the 2 processes which cause CPU to jump over % 50 and heats more than %70 also in Ubuntu CPU heat is same with windows. around %59-%70 edit= when i kill the RST Intel RAID process, cpu usage decreases to %2-3 and cools down to 40-47 degrees. when i run stress test it goes up to 100 degrees. which should be around 70-80. on x32 win 7 system it is cooler about 30-44 degrees. x64 systems heating much. i experienced that when cpu usage is at %2 when i open random window or move current window, it jumps to %16 cpu usage. weird really.

Powebook overheating since Applecare superdrive replacement

Hello all -
I'm posting this question in discussions because I can't seem to find an email address by which I can contact Apple support directly.
My Powerbook G4 (12", 1.33GHz) is overheating regularly, even when the Energy Saver control panel is set to Better Energy Savings. By overheating I mean that the machine gets hot to the point that it goes to sleep, even though the fan is running at full speed. The Powerbook never overheated before the computer was sent in to Applecare have its superdrive replaced in June. I believe that something went wrong in the reassembly of the computer, but the computer is now out of its Applecare extended support period. With whom should I speak to try to get this resolved?
Cheers,
Alex
Here's the complete story, for anyone who's interested.
At the end of May, I noticed that the superdrive in my Powerbook was failing - something inside had come loose and discs physically would not load. I finally got around to dropping my Powerbook off during the middle of June - right before my wife and I left for an extended vacation. After I got back to the US, two months later, I started using the powerbook again, and noticed that it was shutting down randomly due to (what seemed to be) overheating. However, I attributed the behavior to bad web page design (certain web pages with a lot of advertisements have always made the machine run warm - I figured that something had changed on the pages which caused the machine to overheat). But now, after about a month of using the Powerbook, I've realized that all sorts of programs which in the past ran without any problems now cause the laptop to overheat. Backup software, DVD software, iTunes, and various games - not just web browsers - all cause the machine to shut down. I've taken to running the machine in "Better Energy Savings" mode all the time, just because it shuts itself off less often. But off course the Powerbook runs much more slowly now...
The Applecare Extended coverage period for the powerbook ended while I was on vacation - which is part of why I took care of the superdrive problem before I left, even though I knew that I would not be in the US to test out the computer when it came back from Apple. It seems that the repair caused the problem that I'm now experiencing. Perhaps a CPU heatsink wasn't mounted properly, or the fan was somehow incorrectly installed? In the end, it doesn't really matter, but I'd like to get the problem corrected. However, I'm presently out of the United States (again) and in a country where there are no Apple stores. I won't be back to the U.S.A. until the beginning of November. In the meantime, I'd like to get this problem resolved so that I have a more useable computer. Any suggestions?

Welcome to the Apple discussions.
Return your Powerbook to Apple. Although the extended warranty has ended, it appears the last repair caused a new problem. If you want to talk to someone first, you can contact Apple customer care via phone.

My macbook air is crashing/ overheating?

Since changing dsl provider, from normal telekom to unitymedia cable + 150 Mbit dl speed router my macbook air is crashing non stop- it seem to be overheating??

What exactly happens when it crashes?

Short battery, overheating

Hi i have the 13 inch mac book pro. I have had it for one year and just recently the battery life significantly reduced to 2 hours while just using microsoft word. just 2 days before i would be on it for 5 or 6 hours. also its seems to be overheating even though I'm just using word. I don't understand what could have caused this

Sounds like the battery is failing and I would err on the side of caution and remove it. Overheating is a definite sign there is something going wrong with a battery. And there is a possibility it could expand making it difficult to remove and cause other damage.
You might also want to post over in the Macbook Pro forums to see if anyone has similar problems or suggestions.

Home Sharing is not working following update to iOS 5.1 and iTunes 10.6

First, the problem:
I am not able to see any shared libraries when using the Music and Video apps on my iPhone 4.
Next, the specs:
iTunes 10.6 on MBP running Mac OS X 10.7.3
iPhone 4 runinng iOS 5.1
Wi-Fi connections for both MBP and iPhone 4
Both connect to same network using same SSID with static IP addressing and UPnP enabled.
MBP connects using 5 GHz N-Only anntena.
iPhone 4 connects using 2.4 GHz NG-Mixed antenna. (Hopefully next iteration of iPhone supports 5 GHz.)
Third, what I have tried:
Everything in "Troubleshooting Home Sharing" (KB Article TS2972 - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2972).
Re-entering my Apple ID credentials for both Music and Movies in iOS Settings.
Re-entering my Apple ID credentials for Home Sharing in iTunes.
Setting up Port Forwarding for both the iPhone 4 and MBP in my router for the relevant TCP and UDP ports (just in case). However, this did not help.
Finally, what I have noticed:
My Remote app on the iPhone 4 works without issue and can control iTunes running on my MBP.
My Air Mouse app on the iPhone 4 works without issue and can control my MBP.
My wireless printer connected to the network via the 2.4 GHz antenna (it only supports 802.11g) is usable - I can print to it and access its embedded web server management tool.
So, in the end, Home Sharing no longer works on my iPhone 4 after updating both IOS and iTunes (all other apps and software updates are current for both the phone and the MBP). I believe I have ruled out any issues with which antenna is being used for which device. I am out of ideas on how to get Home Sharing to work again.
Any suggestions or possible solutions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you gurus in advance!

Spoke to a "senior advisor" in the Apple TV department. Her suggestions: change channel in router to minimize/eliminate wifi interference from other users; move router away from any metal - i.e., DVD player, phone modem, etc.; keep router away from wireless 2.4 gH phones, which are "notorious" for crashing wifi routers. So she confirms that the problem is one of connection to router suddenly dropping out.
My own feeling is that none of these fixes will do the trick, because it seems pretty clear that there is a hardware component here - the timing of the drops seems like an overheating issue. It takes 35-40 minutes for the box to warm up enough for the first drop; then each consecutive drop happens quicker than the one before, as it heats up more. Each time it drops, its tiny brain gets a little more scrambled; last night it finally wouldn't start up again at all.
My suggestion is that everyone who is experiencing this problem, please call Apple tech support and ask to speak to a senior advisor in the Apple TV department. Make them aware of this problem!

Yoga 2 11 Issues ((HELP!!))

I bought the Lenovo Yoga 2 11 about 4 months ago and shortly after opening the packaging, I experienced the "whea_uncorrectable_error" blue screen. I didn't know anything about it, and I admit to acting ignorant about it and not trying to fix it, but ever since then it constantly does it (esspecially when playing videos i.e. netflix, youtube etc.)
I didn't download anything to it, that might give it a virus, and I've tried to reset it to factory settings, but that didn't help.
On top of all that, on startup I get a notification saying it has a weak battery that needs to be replaced, but because it's a Yoga, I can't just buy one and pop it in. Now I'm pretty sure my warrenty is over, and I wish I'd exchanged it before.
Your assistance would be very much appreciated!!!
UPDATE!!: Also now it shuts off with no warning. (Here's the facts)
- The computer shuts off immediately, no warning, nothing, just immediate black screen.
- At first it would restar a few seconds later on its own, but now I have to press to power button to get it back on.
- it happens on battery and AC power
- does not seem to be overheating, at least I do nto feel the temperature to be hot

Finally got in touch with the hidden tech support. Tech support accessed computer remotely and confirmed that the hardware must be at fault ... and yet I can't get a refund or exchange, despite this thing being less than a week old. Seriously? SERIOUSLY? This was my first and last Lenovo purchase. What a **bleep**ing ripoff.

Decided to update iphone 4 to ios 5.1 and mid update it froze and the screen is black. Phone does not respond to any combinations of home and power buttons, when plugged into computer it does not see it is plugged in, any ideas?

Decided to update iphone 4 to ios 5.1 and mid update it froze and the screen is black. Phone does not respond to any combinations of home and power buttons, when plugged into computer it does not see it is plugged in so I cannot restore or anything. Looks like the screen is on it's just unresponsive and black obviously. Has anyone had this problem? I was updating via wifi right in front of my router and my computer.

Please Help! MBP shutting off when plugged in, now not recognizing MagSafe Adapter

I started seeing this problem a few weeks ago, my MacBook Pro just shut off spontaneously while watching a video full-screen. I turned it back on and the problem went away for a while. But now, the shut-downs happen more frequently. It doesn't matter if the MBP is running off of the battery or if its running off of the AC cord, it will just shut off. No warning. No standard shut-down process, everything just stops and a balck screen shows up. After it shuts off, it takes a few seconds to get it to restart, and when it does, the computer's date and time will be reset to some date in 2000. Very strange, I've had this computer for a year and I know people with the same model that have had no such problems. The battery is at 168 cylces (I use this for school, so it was being used everyday throughout the last two semesters), and the Condition is listed as Normal in the System profiler, so I doubt the problem is with the battery, but I could be wrong. I've seen posts about the RAM/PRAM causing the date/time resets. Nevertheless, the MBP has been running normally on the battery, battery life is still the same length of time as it was when I first got the computer, and runs smoothly. Up until last night, the AC MagSafe Adapter was still working, so I only used that as the power source. Everything was fine, but the MBP shut off once or twice while it was plugged in within the last month or so, but the AC would still have a green light, indicating the computer was still recognizing the power source. Now, I can't get the MagSafe to be rocognized at all. The computer is running on battery only, and I've tried resetting the SMC, but I'm unsure if it worked since the MagSafe is still unrecognized. When its plugged in, the System Profiler says it is not connected and not charging.
I'm running on Mac OS X 10.6.8, a 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, with a 4GB memory (of which less that half is used). Computer usage is low, so its not like I'm running several programs at once, at most, its two or three at a time, for short periods. My MBP is a 13" aluminum body, doesn't seem to be overheating, has worked fine after long periods of being on and getting hot, I always let it cool down after I feel it getting too warm.
Please help if you can! Thank you!
