MacBook Pro overheating bootcamp Windows 7.

I'm on a late 2013 MacBook Pro and recently wanted to start using my mac for gaming and needed Windows. However, even without playing any games my computer gets heated a bit and when I do run an application it's way overheated. In OS i have my fans maxed out, I've tried to restart my computer with the fans maxed out then start Windows but at the load up screen the fans turn off. Is there any way to control the fans on Windows? Or stop it from turning them off?

If it isn't shutting down, it isn't in danger of overheating.
95C is close to the safe temperature limit for your machine, but still below it. At CPU/GpPU temps of approximately 100C, the machine will shut down for its own protection.
You can aid it in cooling itself efficiently by always resting it on a hard, flat surface, and additionally by propping its back edge up an inch or so. The steps assure that the rear cooling vents are never blocked and there is a steady convective flow of cooler air across the underside of the case. Resting the computer on anything soft, including your lap, raises its temperature.

MacBook Pro C2D, Bootcamp, Windows XP Pro SP2, D-Link DWA-645 Driver

I just did a test by installing the D-link DWA-645 drivers in Windows XP running under Bootcamp and connecting to the new AirPort Extreme 802.11n base station to see if I can get the higher speeds. I can confirm that the D-link driver does enable the 802.11n capabilities under this environment. It works at both 2.4 and 5.0 GHz.
Both the MacBook Pro (as well as a few other recent Macs) use the Atheros AR5008 chipset for their wireless connectivity. Until Apple updates the Bootcamp drivers or Windows this seems to be a good workaround to get the full speed out of the 802.11n chipset in Macs under Bootcamp.

I have the same computer and the same issue in Bootcamp. I haven't noticed any correlation with a context menu however. Hoping for an updated driver soon to fix this...

Macbook Pro Overheating in Windows

Hi Everyone,
I know this is a topic that has been discussed to death. But im having some very annoying issues with my mac, but i think my case is a bit unique. Now as we all know mac doesnt have alot of games available to it, so i have Windows 7 on another partition, installed using bootcamp. So i loaded up Age Of Empires 3 to play with my friends on LAN. Half way through the game the computer just shut off and went to sleep, the fans were on full and it was pretty toasty so i can only assume its a temp issue. I started the game again with a temperature monitoring software. Just as it cut out again i could see a reading of 97 degrees celsius. I understand under heavyload the temps will rise, they have when ive played on OSX but its never shut down on me.
So any thoughts?
My Mac is Macbook Pro 15" Late 2008 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo 4GB Ram

If you are using a case or "skin", don't. The Mac needs to dissipate heat through its case.
Windows is very resource-hungry especially for gaming, so you need all the cooling effectiveness you can get.
A four year old laptop will accumulate its share of dust. The best way to remove the dust is to disassemble it. This is a task best left to professionals.

I am trying to install windows 7 to my Macbook pro with bootcamp but every time I open bootcamp I am only able to check the first two boxes but not the third one saying "install or remove Windows 7", any solutions ?

Hi, I am trying to install Windows on my MacBook Pro with bootcamp. Every time I open bootcamp I am only able to check the first two boxes but not the third one saying "install or remove Windows 7". I did this before using the same computer and the same hard drive so I am not sure why this is happening now but did´t happen then. Any solutions ?

Was your Bootcamp info.plist manipulated to change any options?

MacBook Pro Core i7 + Windows 7 Bootcamp issues

I recently bought a brand new MacBook Pro Core i7 2.66Ghz with 8GB Ram and 500GB 7200rpm HD and Hi-Res display.
When I received it, I updated all Mac OS X software via software update.
I then created a 70GB Bootcamp partition to install a new full copy of Window 7 Ultimate.
I started with the 64bit version of Win 7, but as has been noted here there are some issues with the driver packages and even after managing to get the 64bit version of the Bootcamp 3.1 driver package update to install in Windows (having first installed Bootcamp 3.0 drivers), the wireless driver would not install or work, nor would the NVidia driver, so I had a very odd display aspect and low res support. There may well have been other drivers not working either, but these two really stood out.
Despite the Bootcamp 3.1 driver package apparently being installed (as reported by "About Bootcamp", the 3.1 package was still being offered to me in Apple Software Update. I tried to install again, and again it still showed as being available to install. Obviously some issue's here.
So I decided to try the Windows 7 32bit edition instead, as I don't necessarily need the 64bit version to run the Windows apps I need.
I deleted the Bootcamp partition and started again. I ended up in the exact same situation with Windows 7 32bit as I had done with Windows 7 64bit - wireless device without a driver, NVidia drivers not installed. This time I had used the Bootcamp 32bit driver packages.
In the end I've opted to just install it via VMware as a pure virtual machine. This works fine, but for what I do in Windows, I prefer to have a Bootcamp setup.
Is there a general issue with the new MacBook Pro's and Windows 7 despite Apple releasing updated driver packages? Do these new driver packages handle the dual GPU setup properly?
I have read a number of "How to's..." for installing Windows 7 on the a MacBook Pro, but none have been successful for me. Am I wasting my time for now and need to wait for Apple to update Bootcamp for the 2010 MacBook Pro's, or am I just missing something in the way I'm doing this? I can't believe it shouldn't be this hard?

Running Windows 7 Ultimate x64 on my brand new 15" MBP right now.
The only problem I'm having is the USB controller issue that is reported in the following thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2411685&start=30&tstart=0
I ran the Boot Camp assistant, made the partition, rebooted with my 7 DVD, formatted the partition, performed a clean installation, & then installed the drivers from the OSX DVD when Windows booted the first time.
Replaced the NVIDIA drivers with the latest Verde release. 258.96notebook_winvista_win7_64bit_internationalwhql.exe
Everything seems to be running just fine at this point.

Install windows 7 on my macbook pro with bootcamp.

I am trying to install Windows 7 off of a dvd version of windows on my macbook pro with bootcamp. I have gotten to the installer screen of windows 7 and each time I proceed, I get an error message saying it does not recognize my drivers. I installed the drivers from bootcamp on a freshly formatted usb drive. I don't understand why it won't read the drivers.

32 bit or 63 bit Windows?
From the Boot Camp System Requirements page located here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634, there is no mid 2011 13" Macbook Pro.
Here are your choices and the correct Windows Support software version to use:

I'm confused. Are you saying that your mac came with an older version of OS X, but you want to be able to use OS X Lion, which you downloaded from the App store? If this is not the case, what do you mean by "I downloaded os x but my laptop started off with os x lion and i want os x lion back"? Specifically, what do you mean by "I downloaded OS X" if your mac came with Lion?

2011 Macbook Pro Overheating *VIDEO*

Well, I must say that I am really disappointed with the current 2011 Macbook pro lineup. This was my first Mac, I must say that I was really excited to finally own one. As I started using it, I noticed how hot the laptop was getting and how loud the fans were. While I was typing a simple E-mail, my palms were getting really hot and was a very uncomfortable feeling. I've been around friends who have own previous models and all have been very quiet and also fairly cool.
I started to get curious so I started reading the temps and it was a staggering 90c degrees! This was just while web browsing, having iTunes loaded and just doing normal day to day stuff. I immediately went online and did a Google search for "2011 Macbook Pro Overheating". I come to find out that it is a common problem. What was most disappointing to me was the fact that Apple is fully aware of this problem and has disabled Turbo Boost on the 13.3" Core i7 while running Bootcamp. So technically speaking, your better off buying the Core i5 model as it will run faster.
I decided to return the laptop, I feel it's deceiving to buy a product that really doesn't perform at it's full potential (It's like buying a Ferrari and only be able to go 60MPH). My batter life was also terrible, I was lucky if I got 3.5 hours under normal web browsing. I think this had a lot to do with the fact that the fan kept spinning at full speed every 2 minutes.
I hope this post doesn't come off as a flame, but rather constructive criticism on Apple's design to improve their products. I truly believe that Apple needs to redesign their Macbook Pro lineup to accept modern processors that run a lot hotter compared to when the Macbook Pro was first introduced. The fact that it has no ventilation in the bottom like every computer out there poses a huge problem with newer processors. I understand the aesthetics portion of the design, but I would much rather have a few small vent holes to keep the processor running cool and maintain a longer life for the hardware.
Lastly, before anyone say's that I got a "defective" one I want to say that this was my 2nd 2011 Macbook Pro as the first one was returned due to the same problems. Here is my video of my experience - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_azMBStJnY

I am having a similar problem. Bought MacBook Pro 17" 16 months ago and after about 9 months, routinely, daily, but no particular time I got a black screen suddenly.
(This is running Windows 7 all the time.)
So daily it has been doing this except for a 3 week visit to Europe ... weird. Yet while in Europe no change in usage. Software or hardware. Except that in US I have it plugged often into a bigger monitor. And sometimes have lid closed but not for the past month while being back.
Return to US and within 2 weeks, suddenly black screen of death anytime during the day, keyboard in use or not.
Called Apple finally yesterday ... they need to know if it happens under Apple IOS. No idea. So for 1 1/2 days ran Apple and did nothing! No black screen.
But what I have noticed is that when it does go black the bodyis HOT!!! Especially between the screen hinge and F keys to the left.
Today I did two more things ... installed gotomypc to see if when it goes black if the laptop is functional, just dead video. I will try to remote in when it goes "dead".
Also I put a load of coins on the laptop where it gets hot to absorb the heat and do they ever!
One thing ... the first time I ever saw this black screen symptom it RECOVERD after 3-4 seconds and gave off an error message like
“Display driver stopped responding and has recovered” error.
So based on researching this, it sounds like the video card needs replacing OR a driver update OR a bath in cold water?

Installing XP on Macbook pro in bootcamp ~updates first?

For installing XP on Macbook pro in bootcamp what updates should I have installed first? I have already installed parallels with XP and all is well but I have one PC program that will not run on parallels and needs to be setup in a Bootcamp environment. I want to run the same version of XP in bootcamp - I hope.
If anyone has experence in partitioning the HD without compromising the Parallels OS setup and the MAC OS please advise, or where I can find instruction for doing this. Thank you.
Linda

Thanks- that what I was hoping. I wanted to run Windows XP- do you recommend a specific partition size? I have found information that is a bit conflicting about installing the same copy of Windows as was is installed on my Parallels. Some information states that it will wipe out my XP in Parallels if I try to install the same CD in Bootcamp,then there is information about work around's - and running Bootcamp inside of Parallels? Yikes!
I have been told by the software manufacturer I need bootcamp to run 'Pool Studio' on a MAC- that I can't use Parallels- do you have any idea if running the bootcamp Virtural Machine inside of Parallels would act the same as a separate version of windows. Except possible eleveate the licence issue.
Its ****** to have to buy another windows licience to run one program.
Do you have any ideas? Thanks

MacBook Pro crashes on Windows 7 Boot

Hey,
I just bought a new 2010 13 inch macbook pro, and installed Windows 7 on it. When I boot Windows 7 I can use it for like 20 seconds and then later the mouse cursor gets stuck and nothing works. Both the keyboard and the mouse both dont respond to anything I do.
Just worth mentioning: I installed all the updates before installing Windows 7 and installed the windows 7 drivers after the installation finished.

So just to be sure, you have the Apple BootCamp control panel and other devices.
You checked device manager.
Might want to run msconig and for me, I disable and uninstall what I don't want running and don't use (Bonjour, MobileMe, etc).
Your OEM DVD is newer than the Boot Camp 3.1, so if you did install 3.1 I would suspect it is at fault.
Mouse and keyboard seem to (again) be common complaints. Also graphic drivers.
Make sure you have room for and using System Restore points and can "roll back" and driver update you made.

Retina Macbook Pro 13" on Windows 8 Wifi Stops Receiving Data

Hello!
I am running a Retina Macbook Pro 13" with Windows 8 Bootcamp. Recently I have discovered that my laptop internet stops working. When I boot it up in windows I will be able to use the internet for an average of around 30 seconds before it stops loading pages but it is still connected to the network. The only way I can actually use the internet is if I keep reconnnecting to my WiFi network every minute or so.
Can anyone help me with this issue?

I'm having a similar issue on my brand new MacBook Pro Retina 15". Internet seems to run fine on my windows side, but when I bootcamp into Windows 7, using my ethernet adapter, downloads seem to only get between 80mb-200mb done before it just stops, and I have to restart. I can browse the internet completely fine (and quickly) but downloading large files seems to cause an issue.
I had to download a Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet driver to get the adapter to work, and I'm wondering if perhaps I have the wrong driver? It's weird that it works though....I also downloaded 7.5GB of Team Fortress 2 seemingly fine the first night, but I think thats because Steam is able to force a reconnect even if it stops working.
Anyway, any help would be appreciated.

I partitioned my MacBook Pro and installed Windows 8 in it.....now I can't find my partition when I pressed option key when booting up.....so how can I do to find the partition to boot...I can see it in the disk manager in Mac....any ideas? thanks..!..

Hi LamboMong,
just try this:
http://refit.sourceforge.net
install, reboot twice and choose the Windows-Partition on next startup.
(The apple-bootloader doesn't display all bootable harddisks.
With rEFIt you can boot from all partitions/harddisks on your computer.)
I hope that will solve your problem.
