Laptop Overheating

My laptop is a Hp envy m6-1105dx notebook pc, Windows 8.1, beats audio and AMD Vision A10. I have had my laptop over a year and just recently ha it started overheating. I need my laptop for work. I am an insurance agent. I have coolsense and it seems to work wose now too. My drivers are up to date, including coolsense. I want to know what could be causing this, from what i see the vents seem relatively clear. My laptop is not under warranty.

Hi Kwildinsurance,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have read your thread on your HP ENVY m6-1105dx Notebook and issues with overheating and coolsense. Here is a link to overheating as this might be the cause of the shutting down. If the Notebook has dust on the fans it could be overheating. If that does not help at the end of this document it shows you to do a hardware test. The final thing you should try is to restore BIOS default settings.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.

HP 550 Laptop Overheating

Hi, I currently have overheating issues with my HP 550, when i had bought this laptop gushes of air used to come out of the side air vents, but know theres hardly any air coming out, the fan usally comes on at the logon prompt with an AC Adapter, but when im on battery it comes on when i spend more than 10 mins on the computer, the fan temps reach up to 100 Degrees. Any help would be appreciated!
By the way my warranty is expired.
Computer Specs:
Intel Celeron 530 @ 1.73Ghz
1 GB RAM (1014MB due to memory allocation)
111 GB Hard drive
Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3

I have a similar problem, so I hope someone can help.
My temperature doesn't quite get to 100º, but when I am doing something a bit intensive the fan kicks in and the computer sounds like it's taxiing for takeoff. I imagine the fan / CPU / heatsink are clogged with dust as the air flow is pretty pathetic. Therefore I decided to get in and clean it.
I've seen the instructions for removing the keyboard and switch cover on the HP website but I hit a problem. I can get as far as loosening the back edge of the switch cover but my cover doesn't slide off effortlessly like in the video. I've applied as much force as I dare but it really feels as if something is holding it. I can lift the back edge by about 15º and that's it.
Can anyone offer advice on how to get the switch cover off? Or an alternative way to get in to clean the fan and CPU?
Thanks in anticipation.

Dv7-3085dx Laptop Overheating

Bought this system at Bestbuy 2 weeks ago. Core i7 processor and Win7. Been running great, today while on but not running any programs it got very hot. I was just realizing it was running hot when it automatically shut down and gave a warming that the Bios detected overheating. I left it down for 2 hours then booted it up. Within 10 minutes it was hot again (fans are working). I rebooted and now it seems OK but I'm not sure. I have run this new laptop for hours every night and had no issues until today. Only other problem I have had is the volume slider would stop working periodically. Anyone else had overheating issues with this model?
thanks

My screen display has stopped working.
I can here the fans and all the lights are on, but no display. I was watching a lot of video via netflix projected to a Sony Bravia when it froze. I think it's been running hot but I have not recieved any bios warnings. It has blue sceened on me once (Not connected to the Sony).
I've had it for about 3 weeks orderd from this place:

I have to call them in the morning to start I guess. It came with back up disks created by Geek Squad. Hopefully buying form this vendor won't be an issue.

Dell laptop overheating?

I have a dell inspiron 1545 and i've been having issues with it overheating.
I've only had it since June 2009.
I have a laptop desk thing that is suppose to keep it ventilated but it still keeps overheating and a few times it has completely shut off.
There doesn't seem to be any dust or anything blocking the vent.
Is there anything I can do to stop it or should I take it to get it checked out?
Does the geek squad black tie protection cover this.

First, what make/model cooler are you using? I'm asking because I'd like to see the design.
Secondly, you can open the unit and blow out the dust using some compressed air if you feel comfortable doing so.

Laptop Overheating too much

Why is my laptop consistently over heating? How do I stop this from happening?

Hi caranetta:
Thank you for your inquiry.
I understand that your computer is overheating.
Overheating is usually caused by decreased air flow which does not allow it to cool properly as well as other issues
I am sending you a link to a You Tube Video on "How to service HP DV7 for overheating" that I think you might find informative. click here.
This is not a HP recommended video.
There are many more videos on the computer overheating if you would like to check it out.
It that is not the issue please reply back for further assistance.

Overheating laptop

Hello, my laptop: CQ60-420sa keeps overheating and switching itself off. Is there anythign I can do to stop this. It is on Windows Vista (which came with the laptop).

It is a SMART Error, and it indicates that the HDD is faulty.
You can find more information on SMART errors here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-Monitoring,_Analysis,_and_Reporting_Technology
I would recommend you replacing your HDD on your unit.

Laptop gets overheating

My laptop is HP Envy m6 1105dx, it's a good computer, but it has some serious problems that make me very angry.
First, when I play games, default buttons are useless, and I have to assign functions to others.
Second, when I play Wing of Prey, it often shut down unnoticedly. The power button, wifi button still light, the caps lock button also work, but the screen goes dark and no thing else work.
Third, since some days ago, it have shut down because of overheating many times, although I have just bought it for 5 months, it gets 90 degree!

I saw your post and forwarded it to the right people a for their review. You should hear back from someone shortly via private message on this Forum.

Can I return my laptop

I bought my laptop around the beginning of March 2011. I am very dissatisfied with it and was wondering if I could bring it in for a refund.The computer is a Dell Inspiron.

I'm sorry, but you only have 14 days to return a laptop. You could send it in for repair if there is an issue with the device.

WRT120N no longer recognized by laptops

I'm not quite sure where the problem lies, so I'm going to go over everything that happened so I can hopefully get an answer. Any help is MUCH appreciated.
We were running a few laptops (Acer Aspire 5517 on Vista) off our WRT120N router wirelessly. We have it hooked up to a wireless modem. All signs show that the modem and router are running fine. The wireless network we were using, I'll call it Network-1, stopped showing up as an option in the wireless connect menu. Prior to this all the laptops could connect to Network-1 by wire or wirelessly without a problem. I don't know what happened to start the problem, but Network-1 is no longer a wireless network option.
When I wire a laptop to the router, it connects to the internet and says it's currently connected to Network-1. But when I try to connect the wireless network via a wired connection, the new network I set doesn't show up in the connection menu. When I try to set up the router again (while the computer is wired), I get the error message "Windows did not detect any wireless network hardware". So it seems that although I am able to get an internet connection through the router, the computer is not recognizing it.
One of the laptops is able to connect wirelessly through a different network (Network-2). It looks like Network-2 was set up automatically by the laptop. Another laptop has Network-2 as an option, but it says the network security key is wrong. I have no idea what the password might be, the computer where Network-2 works connects automatically, I haven't had to type a password. I'm not sure what happened here, if it's two different connections with the same name, or if it's the same thing. I don't even know if this is relevant.
Again, we would be SO grateful for any help!
Solved!

Well i think due to some reason the wireless settings of your Router must have got resetted, that's the reason you are unable to see your wireless network name. So you need to Hardwired you computer to the Router and login to the router setup page and change the wireless settings of your Router.
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...Leave Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
Click on the Wireless tab
- Here select manual configuration...Wireless Network mode should be mixed...
- Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box in order to differentiate your network from your neighbors network...
- Set the Radio Band to Standard-20MHz and change the Standard channel to 11-2.462GHz...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on Save Settings...
Please make a note of Wireless Network Name (SSID) as this is the Network Identifier...
For Wireless Security : -
Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
Change the Wireless security mode to WPA, For Encryption, select TKIP...For Passphrase input your desired WPA Key. For example , MySecretKey , This will serve as your network key whenever you connect to your wireless network. Do NOT give this key to anyone and remember the key.
NOTE : Passphrase should be more that 8 characters...
Click on Advanced Wireless Settings
Change the Beacon Interval to 75,Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304,Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 and Click on Save Settings...
Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...

We don't know what Apple plans on doing to change this (and it may not be just Apple but more likely the publishers, since Apple would, of course, do whatever it could to maximize sales/profits). Right now you can only read Apple books on mobile devices. Sure, buy them from Amazon if you want to read them on the computer. We don't work for Apple so we're pretty impartial on this kind of advice.
You might also see what your library can offer. My wife can browse the county library from her iPhone, borrow e-versions, and read books on it too. Free!

Email address change--how does this affect laptop and nook?

I use my Adobe ID only to authorize my laptop and Nook. I need to change my email address which seems easy on the FAQs, but how do I then reauthorize my laptop and Nook? And, if I do this, are all my existing library books unreadable since they were downloaded by what the Nook thinks is a different user? I'm almost sure I won't be able to return any books in ADE on my laptop, but I can live with that if I can still read the books on the Nook.
Thanks in advance.

The sync process with iTunes transfers the email account settings (for your chosen accounts via your iPhone sync preferences) from the Mail application on your Mac to the iPhone's email application.
The iPhone is running OS X and the iPhone's email client can be considered a mobile version of the Mail application.

Creating a backup of functional drive removed from broken laptop

I have a new Macbook Pro running Mountain Lion that is damaged and won't turn on. I have the drive removed and can access it using a docking station attached to my iMac running 10.6.
What is the simplest way to backup the data from this drive so that after the laptop is repaired I can return my data to the Macbook Pro?

Using Disk Utility to clone a drive will automatically erase the Destination drive if it isn't already erased. To backup to a drive with stuff already on it you would need to use a backup utility like one of these:
Suggested Backup Software
1. Carbon Copy Cloner
2. Data Backup
3. Deja Vu
4. SuperDuper!
5. Synk Pro
6. Tri-Backup
Others may be found at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on backup and restore. Also read How to Back Up and Restore Your Files.
Be sure the backup utility is NOT configured to erase all files on the destination that are not on the source. If there are files identical to those already on the drive, then they will be overwritten.

How to take mailboxes from desktop drive to laptop and back?

I want to copy my e-mail messages (in their user-created mailboxes) from my main G5 to my laptop so I can review them elsewhere, then return them to the G5. I thought I could just copy the Mailboxes folder (or maybe the whole massive Mail folder), place that the corresponding folder in my laptop user Library, then do the same when I get home -- replace the older mailboxes folder with a revised version.
But when I do so, I get a mailbox in the laptop's Mail, but no messages in it.
What am I doing wrong? This should be an easy task, I would think.

Which recommendation? Did you actually read what I said at the bottom of the post you’ve quoted? And why have you quoted the entire post?
The file format used by Mail changed drastically in Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger). Mail 2.x knows about the old data format and can import mailboxes created by Mail 1.x, but Mail 1.x knows nothing about the new data format used by Mail 2.x. Actually, the conversion from Mail 1.x to Mail 2.x mailboxes is broken and Mail 2.x sometimes can only import Mail 1.x mailboxes as Other, but that’s another story...
Although *.mbox packages appear to be files in Mac OS X 10.3, they’re actually folders just like in Mac OS X 10.4, but Mac OS X 10.3 treats them differently because of the .mbox suffix. Ctrl-click on an *.mbox package and choose Show Package Contents from the contextual menu to see the files it contains.
For each mailbox, Mail 1.x stores all the messages in a single file in standard mbox format (the mbox file within the *.mbox folder/package), whereas Mail 2.x stores messages in individual *.emlx files within a Messages folder that Mail 1.x knows nothing about.
You need something like emlx to mbox Converter or Emailchemy to convert the *.emlx files to standard mbox format in order to be able to import them (as Other / Standard mbox) in Mail 1.x.
