MSI GX 740 - Strange heat issue!

Hello!
I've had some heat issues with my MSI gx 740 for a while. It's constantly turning off when playing a game, and I can't turn on my computer for a while, or it will turn off during boot. What makes this strange is that when i was using SpeedFan to measure my temperatures it changed dramatically within a minute!!
Photo number one shows ATI control center and SpeedFan when running CS:S in the background (windowed)
Photo number two shows ATI and SpeedFan when running CS:S!
Notice the time! How is this possible?
I have also thought about apply cooling supply (thermal compund/heat sink?). How do I apply this? (Point out on the previous photo?)

MSI R6950 Twin Frozr III PE strange heat issue!

Hi guys,yesterday i've decided to upgrade my PC with brand new Sandy Bridge configuration,but after the first boot i've had a very unpleasant surprize with my VGA card .Right after power on my PC everything went good,display was on and showing the Bios Setup screen,but after 30-40 seconds my the VGA fans started to spin at full speed and restarted the system but after that my 40" lcd display was only showing "no signal detected" .From this point i've tried everything to get my system going,i've disabled the onboard VGA,swapped RAM modules,toggle every PCI and PCI-E add-on cards,bios reset but the issue was still there.
A couple of times i've managed to get into Windows OS but after 10 second the PC restarted again.I'm not really sure what's the issue here but i do noticed that after 10 second from boot the VGA card is getting very hot (can touch it only for 1 second) but only in the area near the power connectors,next to the capacitors...
Here's my configuration:
- CPU: Intel i5 2500K
- MoBo: Asrock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3
- RAM: Corsaire Vengence 8GB (2x4GB) DDR 1866
- PSU: Enermax Liberty 620 W
- VGA: MSI R6950 Twin Frozr III PE
- Case: Cooler Master HAF-X
BTW,my old MSI Radeon HD4870 is working with the above configuration and i also tested the MSI R6950 Twin Frozr III PE on 3 different PCs same had same issue,so if you guys have any idea about this issue please post here.

Yeah,i've already compiled the RMA form with the retailer but it doesn't have this VGA in stock anymore.I really hope it won't need months for the RMA procedure.

MSI K9AGM4-L - Strange freezing issue with games

I built this low budget computer for my friend, and it has a strange bug. The parts are:
MSI K9AGM4-L motherboard
X2 64 4600+ AM2 processor + stock cooler
2 x 1gb Kingston 667 DDR2
PNY 7600GT PCI-E
Antec Solo Quiet case + 12cm fan
HEC 350W power
Tested with WinXP SP2 and Vista 64Bit
Bug: Everything works ok, but everytime I start a game (IL-2 1946 for example) it freezes continuosly.
OK, I thought it was a temp issue, but...
- I've played IL-2 1946 for over 200 hours with that card, when it was on my own computer and it never had any issues. I have the exact same Antec case on my own computer, with one 12cm fan.
- That power doesn't feel hot at all after it has been on for over an hour or so.
- Processor temp never exceeds 47-49C when playing, so can't be it either.
- SATA harddrive temp is 47C according to "Everest".
The only thing that seems hot to touch is the NB heatsink (which is very small on this mobo, btw). So I made this test: I used an open case and put this huge 40cm fan next to it and played the game. It still started to freeze even though the heatsink wasn't very hot.
I also thought it's something with the drivers/software, so I tested everything with Vista 64bit + different drivers/software, didn't help. Also I tested one ATI card, same symptoms.
I also checked that the NB heatsink is properly seated.
SO.... any ideas what can cause this? Is it the NB afterall, that needs a better heatsink...or?
Any help to solve this will be welcomed, thanks in advance.

"But I've ran a P4 2.8 computer with that PSU for over a year without any issues at all."
That doesn't prove anything. Don't trust to cheap PSU's.
Also for your current build its too weak:
HEC-350LD-T. AC Input: 115/230V~, 50~60Hz, 8/5A, Fuse Rating: T8AL, 250V~.
DC Output: +3.3V~20A, +5V~33, +12V~15A. +5Vsb~2A, -5V~1A, -12V~1A. MAX OUTPUT POWER: 350W. +5V&3.3V Combined 180W.
Get a single rail PSU with high amperes on +12V +30A or above.
Add-on to read:
>>> PSU's---2 x 12v---The Dual Rail Myth <<<
>>> Is your problem caused by your PSU? <<<
Good PSU suggestions:

"with that PSU for over a year"
One more reason to be suspicion.

MSI GT60 Too much heat issue ! help

i have msi gt60 0nc (windows 8.1 x64 / i7-3610QM / gtx 670m / 16G ram / 1T hdd )
and when i play games the gpu and cpu temp retch 80c after less then one hour of gaming like need for speed rivals
and temp increases to reach more then that but i exit the game immediately to cool the gpu/cpu
my turbo and fan is on .. pls help me is that normal/safe or what ?
attaching some pic
thanks

Depending on what model of GT60 you have, 90C isn't terrible.
If you go much higher than 95C I would start worrying, but 90C seems to be about the normal operating temperature of a newer (Core i7 4xxx series + GTX8xx series combo) GT60. Once you start going above 95C you're going to start throttling very quickly.....and that's not good.
Worst case you might want to repaste the CPU and GPU. This is a rather common problem on the notebooks.

MSI 980-G65 Heat issue

Hello everyone. I would like to discuss that little heat issue that MSI NF980-G65 seems to have.
So long story short :
my Rig : Phenom 1090t
HAF X with all cooling slots full + extra fans mounted for extra airflow
Venomous X
ZOTAC 480 AMP! + PNY 480 in SLI
Corsair TX850
Problem : I got one of mosfets undet "140W" , blown up after 15 minutes of LinX test
So, I've seen in HWmonitor and speedfan those nice 80-99C temps on some part of mobo, after googling I've found that that's the supposedly faulty sensor on this mobo. Well after the mosfet blew up I don't think it was all that faulty.
Anyway, is there any way to mount some sort of additional fan/cooling on the "140W" heatsink? or should I just change the original thermal crap for MX3 or smthg ? Because I've had a really good airflow in my case, and that didn't seem to help a bit ( my CPU was ideling at 29, my vid. cards were showing 39)
P.S. everything else worked fine: the sata, all 8 gigs on my ram, and sli worked like magic too.

Hello
this not your problem dear AKRIAN only.
below is some links that discussed about that:
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=139175.0
http://www.overclock.net/amd-motherboards/730051-temp-issues-msi-nf980-g65.html
I have searched a lot about that.This dangerous raise in temp come to NFORCE 200 chip that is at the middle of board( between two SLI boards) and I think it is not bad sensor problem .It is very hot . seriously suggest have a lot of water near you for fire time with two GTX 480 and a NF980-G65.
I couldn,t use two 9800gt in summer because of temp problem and i am very disappointed .
First i loved this mobo for its ability but after that problem i lost many time to find problem , i send my graphic card for gauranty. I uninstalled heatsink and use a new adhesive. I used many programs for control temps and so on.
After this long time this is my condition : I use onboard graphic .I have soled my graphic cards.i am waiting for a low temp graphic card. maybe GTX 460. i have installed a little fan on the heatsink( with MSI label)( this fan decreased temp about 10 c .now it is abot 70 c in idle use.)
the competitive boards from other vendors with similar layout havent such a problem.
Now i ask myself what is the wrong with msi engineers? bad heatsink? bad place of chipset in the hottest point? bad voltage regulator?( some one said it is because bad voltage because it is not change many in load and idle use)? or nvidia false in making a chip with old technology?
This chip is used in some products that need x16/x16 pci express lanes like BIG BANG TRINERGY and X58 TRINERGY.
Now i suggest to every one that they buy MSI products if they have a cooler beside their case!

After several repairs, still having heating issue with MacBook Pro (mid '09)

EDIT: this post got removed the first time for not being constructive enough. I've now edited the post.
This is going to be a lengthy post, so bear with me.
2 months ago, I suddenly noticed my MacBook Pro (medio 2009, 15", 4GB RAM, GeForce 9400M) heating up a lot harder than usual. I'm familiar with the heating issues these laptops have, but this wasn't normal. Looking at iStat Pro, I saw my fans almost taking off like an airplane at 5700 rpm, while watching only a livestream on my browser. I know Shockwave Flash takes up quite a chunk of your CPU, but I had never encountered this problem beforehand.
The biggest problem wasn't just the heat or the fans, but the fact that my computer also started reacting rather slowly. Sometimes I'd even get beachballed, or the whole browser stopped responding for half a minute...
So I tried to see if gaming was still an option. Of course not. I had been playing League of Legends for several months without any issues. Whilst playing, I'd kick up my fans manually to about 4000 rpm, and they'd stay there throughout the whole game. Now, when I start up the game, it plays smoothly for the first 2 minutes. After the temperatures rise to a critical level, the fans start spinning up to 5700 rpm, and the whole game plays like a powerpoint presentation.
On a sidenote: it sort of 'lags' every 1-2 seconds, and sometimes, after a long period, the game acts somewhat normal again (20 mins). This game uses wine to run, which isn't the most optimal way. So I tried playing Team Fortress 2, too. Probably even worse results! (but again noticeable 1-2 second interval lags)
Before anyone starts screaming: "Don't use your Mac for gaming!" etc., I wish to point out that these two games had been running perfectly for the past few months/years. Something's definitely wrong.
After looking for some solutions myself, I decided to go to an authorized Apple Service in my city. A few days later, they told me my logic board was broken, and I had to pay almost 700 euros ($ 900-1000) to replace it. So I did. I got it back, but it wasn't fixed. Brought it back in. Got it back a week later: "Your new logic board we got from Apple was already broken, but we hadn't noticed. We put a new one in it. It's fixed." Again, same problem.
We're almost 2 months later and 700 euros poorer, still no result. I've brought it in about 6-7 times now, here's a list of what they've tried so far:
- In total 3 new logic boards
- New MagSafe (because they discovered it was giving too much power too my laptop)
- Fresh re-install
- Replaced RAM
- Checked fans etc. (they do this by default)
- A few tests which proved that it was repaired (but I have my doubts with these tests...)
They told me now that it's fixed, and they basically won't look into it anymore. I must contact Apple myself, if I wasn't satisfied. The tests they performed showed no signs of heating issues. (One of the tests was playing 4 1080p movies at the same time. When I watch a 1080p movie on Youtube, my laptop is taking off like a plane) They ran a stress test all night long, showing no temperatures above 98°C. I got it up to 105°C in a few minutes according to iStat Pro.
They advised me to install Mountain Lion, which would make the issues with "high-performance sites" go away. I haven't seen much improvement, though.
This whole experience has been quite frustrating, especially now that I'm gonna need my laptop for University again. Isn't there anything I can do? I've paid almost 700 euros and missed my laptop for 2 months, without any results.
I've got more information regarding the issues if needed, ask away. I'm getting desperate.
I've been browsing around the support communites, and found that a lot of people are having issues since they upgraded to OS X Lion. Could this be the case? Should I try downgrading to Snow Leopard?
I've also found a few topics on refreshing the cooling pasta on the heatsink. Would they have noticed any problems with this after replacing the Logic Board several times? Or should I check it myself? I'm not too keen on opening up my laptop myself...
Nick.

Thought of buying Parallels? Fusion?
Might want to see if this gets moved to the MacBook Pro forum.
I'd think Windows 8.1 is smart enough (what I use 90% time since the Dev Preview came out couple yrs ago it seems like) to find the driver.

IQ826t Restart and Heating Issue

One thing I definitely do not like the HP's support especially when they will not allow us to buy a 7 Upgrade from Vista nor will they support something (even when I find their glitches and they admit after telling me it was just the OS).. On Repair work, I had to ship it out and this will be my 2-3 time to do repair on this PC in the past 3 years (and I have to wait a week for the repair to be done...)
Besides that, IQ826t, Win 7 Ultimate SP1
All Drivers are up to date with HP website (utilizing Win 7 64 bit drivers and Firmware is up to date). AVG update/scan (no issue - confirmed even rootkit).. Malwarebyte - Scan and no issue
Disk Cleanup, Disk Defragmentation done on a monthly and quarterly schedule
Biggest Issue:
I am getting a crash with Win 7 0x124 Stop Error Message (happens periodically and even after a reboot)
Never had this issue until May and the upgrade to Win 7 was done last year with SP1 update done on March (so it is not an issue with the OS as HP support personnel seems to think... I proved them the issue with Windows Update History, The Bluescreen error code on my error code reader).. This machine under warranty and I had issues with it constant (even in Vista)
They state that it is the OS.. Again, if that was the case, I would think it would happen right away like my Toshiba on SP1 upgrade... That was not the case in the matter. I have a firmware reset (default settings) and the issue persist..
The Error Code relates always HAL.dll or ntoskrnl.exe
One if hardware compatiblity and the other is an OS kernel exe file.. And this usually checking knowledge base relates to hardware failing due to 1) Compatibility (which HP website confirms is not the case) 2) OS corruption (which is not the case checking on safe mode and this happening STILL 3) Heat Issue (which I believe is the issue and was been documented on the Internet
What I am noticing is the unit is extremely HOT (vent is almost burning when it has been off and just turned on).. I wonder if the hardware pieces are literally melting to destruction since I can't just open it up (they state it will void my warranty)
The Symptoms before the Crash (happens any time.. Even right after a power up)
If you are playing audio or video, you will start to hear jitters and sound seems to echo itself .. Video would start to lag and become choppy.. Systems start to slow down and things seem to run very slow.. I have seen the power light on the PC start on but the touchscreen just go black (will not restart sometimes)..
Minor Issues (but could be related)
1) When running PC Hardware Diagnostic, they will come up with an error code in the past and that was warranted for a motherboard replacement (of course, they ship the box to the wrong location and I was in the middle of my wedding so I get to it now).. It was pertaining to PCI Express Status ICH9 PCI Express Root Port where it will generate an error code... Now, running the diagnostic... I will not get any error but PCI Express Root Port 3 & 5 do not show up on the diagnostic... Wouldn't that obvious show something that is a problem when there are 6 ports (which on the previous diagnostic that I can't grab past logs shows that). That is not warranted for a warranty work? Just a note, I got the fail test code (which was intermittent but keep happening and the tech support would not look at previous case.. Port 4 failed and a fatal device code)
2) Blu-Ray player will not run and their answer is that it is your Blu-Ray until they realize that I ran it on 3 different Blu-Ray player standalone, different Blu-Ray, and confirm DVD will work.. They still think it is a software issue until they can't deny my point when it will not read the Blu-Ray no matter what (they took control and confirmed it).. They believe the HP SmartDVD software was failing because of Win 7 and not Vista (even when I downgrade and confirm it works, I stated the software is the issue... Lone and behold, 2 months later they had an update that they refuse to admit I was RIGHT on the matter and done 15 hours of troubleshooting that they were wrong about)
3) Wireless Keyboard and Mouse lost connectivity even if the battery is not low... Just stop typing or omit letters.. This is considering the keyboard is literally in front of the touchscreen
4) Touchscreen is sensitive when it wants to be but won't in other... Constant issues there
This is why I have so much issue with support.. They seem to show that they will do anything to deny the issue.. Heck, I am a computer technian calling on the issue.. It ain't like I didn't troubleshoot on the matter... But they think we are all morons and when I prove them wrong, they will use any excuse to honor warranty... That is why it is amazing..

Look in your Settings > App Manager.
Tap Device Monitor.
Tap the Battery tab.
At the upper right, tap "Since Last Charge" to change to "Last 48 Hours".
What apps or processes are consuming the most battery power?
ALSO, in setting up your new Z30, are you syncing many contacts or calendar data from a connected email account?

Strange performance issue with 3510/3511 SAM-FS disk cache

Hi there!
I'm running a small SAM-QFS environment and have some strange performance issue on the disk storage part, which somebody here might be able to explain.
Configuration: one 3510, dual controller, RAID-5 9+1, one hot spare and one disk not configured for whatever reason. The R5 logical drive hosts a 150GB LUN for SAM-QFS metadata (mm in SAM-FS speak) and a 1TB LUN for data (mr in SAM-FS speak). Further, there are two small LUNs (2GB, 100GB) for some other purpose. Those two LUNs have nearly no I/O. All disks are SUN146G. Host connection is 2GBit, multipathing enabled and working.
Then the disk cache became too small, and the customer added a 3511 expansion unit with SUN300G disks. One logical drive is a RAID-1, 1+1, used for NetBackup catalog. The other is a RAID-5, 8+1, providing two LUNs: 260GB SAM-FS metadata (mm) and 1.999TB SAM-FS data (mr).
For SAM-FS, the LUNs form two file systems: one "residing" in the 3510, the other "residing" in the 3511 expansion. Cabling is according to the manual and checked several times by several independant people. Operating system is Solaris 10, hardware is a V880.
The problem we observe: SAM-FS I/O on LUNs on disks inside the 3510 is fine. With iostat, I see 100MB/s read and 50MB/s write at the same time. On the SAM-FS file system which is running on the two LUNs in the 3511, the limit seems to be at 40MB/s read/write. Both SAM-FS file systems are configured the same in regards of block size.
In case I have activity on both SAM-FS file systems, I see 100MB/s+ on the LUN running inside the controller shelf and another 40MB/s on the disk runnin in the 3511 expansion chassis. So, the controller is easily capable of handling 150MB/s.
Cache settings in the 3510 controller are default I think (wasn't installed by me), batteries are fine.
Is this 40MB/s we experience a limitation by the expansion shelf? Don't think so. Anybody has any ideas on this? What parameters to check or to change? Any hint appreciated. I can also provide further details if needed. Thank you.
wolfgang

SUN300G disks sound like 300GB FC disks.
Depending on how many files are in the SAMFS file system, sharing the mm and mr devices on the same RAID array can be a pretty horrible idea. In my opinion and experience, it's almost always better to NEVER put more than one LUN on a RAID array. Period. Putting more than one LUN on an array results in IO contention on that array. And large, unnaturally configured (9+1? Why?) RAID arrays will have problems from the start.
What are the block sizes used on the RAID arrays? It wouldn't surprise me to see that the RAID array on the expansion tray has a very large block size. Larger block sizes are, in general, not better. Especially for SAMFS metadata - which IIRC is something like 8k or 16k blocks.
I suspect what is happening is most of the metadata updates are going to the mm device on the new array, contending with the IO operations on the file data.
How much space is left on each mm device? What does "iostat -sndxz 2" show when you're having the IO problems?

Macbook Pro 13-inch, mid 2009. Heat Issues

Hi!
What can i do?
I have a macbook pro 13" from 2009.
The fans are always on 1999 RPM, they never go faster, not even when the computer reaches a temperature of 80° Celcius.
As soon as I go to youtube to watch a video, the temperature goes up alot, but the fans stays at 1999 RPM and they refuse to go up. So the computer just gets warmer and warmer.
So I downloaded a program called smcFanControl, and when i watch usually any video on youtube, the temperature goes up to around 64° Celcius with the fans running at around 3500 RPM.
I can forget about watching ANY HD 720p video on youtube, because then the computers temperature reaches at least 70° Celcius even with the fans running at 4000RPM.
I am SO sick of this heat issue.
What can i do?
The room I am in, isnt even warm. My sisters Sony Vaio is at 40° Celcius when watching the same HD 720p video.
And this problem doesnt only occur when I watch HD videos, i get it no matter what video I watch on youtube. Highly annoying.
Why cant my macbook pro control the fans automaticly? Is there any program that i can use so it controls the fans automaticly? Because I am SO tired of controlling the fans all the time, i need to control them when I go to youtube, when i go to expressen.se (Swedish news online), I need to control them when using videocall via skype, yeah almost all the time!
Does anyone have the same problem? Or any idea what to do? It doesnt even matter if I'm downstairs in the livingroom where its really cold, I cant watch videos on youtube without the temperature reaching sickingly 80°celcius, or 64°Celcius with the fan running faster, which I have to do manually by the way.
I would just love for my macbook to control them automaticly, I hate that i have to do it.
Please help.
I run Mac Os X 10.6.3 (Snow leopard), I have a 2,26 Ghz Macbook Pro 13 inch from mid 2009.
SMC-version 1.47f2
Please help,
Kind regards

Hi again PatrikK,
The temperature that SMCFanControl reports itself is the CPU A temperature diode one from what I can see. As a test I ran SMCFanControl alongside Marcel Bresink's excellent shareware program "Hardware Monitor" , which provides much more detailed information about temperatures , speeds, power demand, etc etc, than SMC is able to do, to test this and the CPU A temp diode was certainly the closest to the Hardware Monitor readings. On the video pages of the Swedish newspaper site it was generally about 10ºC hotter than the CPU core temperatures, which were generally in the 60'sC, while the CPU A diode was in the 70'sC.
So, with your CPU Diode temp at 80ºC the CPU core temps were probably only at about 70C, which, as I said, is about where the fan speeds actually usually start to increase under normal MacOSX control. (The algorithms used to determine fan speed in Macs aren't actually based on CPU temperature alone, but depend on the readings from various temperature sensors, together with measurement of electrical current draw etc, so no single CPU temperature is responsible)
All in all, when I look back at your earlier post as well, I think your MBP is probably simply operating normally in the situations you mention. It certainly won't be doing it any harm (the maximum CPU core temperatures allowable for the 13" model are either 90ºC or 100ºC, depending on the actual procesor fitted, and this equates to a CPU A temperature diode - the one your software is measuring - of over 100ºC.) At 80º CPU A temperature the fans should only just be starting to increase, and you will find that they cut in quite aggressively from then on in, making sure that the core temperatures are not exceeded.
So I don't think you need to worry about this situation in terms of the computer itself, though you should certainly be able to reduce the temperatures somewhat if you follow the approaches I mentioned with respect to Flash etc in my earlier post.
If your concern is mainly comfort when using the computer, all I can suggest is that you follow Apple's own instructions about these computers being "notebooks", not "laptops", and when using it in a comparatively "high demand" situation such as watching flash videos use it on a desk, or do what I do and simply stick it on a thin plastic or wooden board when it is resting on my knees. There are all sorts of fancy "laptop cooler" devices out there that you can spend money on if you wish, with everything from powered fans to chemically based cooling processes, but I've always found that a light weight $2 plastic chopping board from Ikea does the job perfectly well in such situations!
Cheers

Strange import issue .. no longer works in 2.6 or Beta 3

Strange import issue.
I use LR-2.6 everyday but have only played around with the LR-3 for a limited amount of time so the other day I decided check it out and tried to import a handful of RAW(canon) files on a SDxc-8g card via a USB card reader. I set it up to copy and convert to DNG, apply a few keywords and Metadata but when I tried it acted like it imported the first image and then froze. Card reader lights stopped blinking and just stayed on, program task bar doesn’t show any progress, not even for the first image. I then went to the folder that I was going to have the images copies to and it contained a file of the first image, but there is no indication that LR-3 even created it and it doesn’t show up in the catalog. When I tried to close out LR-3 is popped up the “in the middle of a task warning” so I just closed the program and tried it a couple more times to no avail.
So I though o well I will just open up LR-2.6 and import them from there, guess what now LR-2.6 does the exact same thing!!
I thought maybe my card reader was a POS but I was able to drag all the files to a new folder on my desktop and import them from there, nope. Tried rebooting a couple times, even opened a new catalog to test with, in both LR-2.6 and LR-3 and neither will work..
I am stumped any ideas?

Thank you for everyone's assistance
I actually figured out what the problem was, like most issues it comes back to operator error, it seem I had inadvertently chose a "rename file on import" template that I had set up to name the files based on a custom fill-in field in the Meta Data, I normally only used that template when I was exporting images that had been completely edited, so being these images were new imports that field was blank, hence it would import the first image and then do to " don't import subjected duplicates" being checked it would just stop the import process.

Gaming issues and heat issues, running windows 8.1 pro via bootcamp

I have a few problems, and I don't know what else to do, then to write for help here..
I really hope someone out there can help me, because I have had this problem since I bought my laptop mid 2012, and I got smarter since then, so now I know that I actually shouldn't have these problems, it's not because my very expensive laptop is bad, or that it is a laptop or because it's a mac, regardless of what people say, I'm positively certain that it's a problem which shouldn't be there.
I have pretty great specs, (trust me i checked them out, not the best in the world, but pretty good) yet I can't enjoy 1 single mmorpg game like, Tera, or the new Archeage (currently in open beta), or any other game, (swordsman online)... Even though people say Tera has bad coding, I have tried adjusting things for weeks if not months, NOTHING helps, i get a frame rate that is from 0-25 very unstable, usually around 7-12, and sure if I go the lowest settings in the games I can get very unstable framerates but i guess they can get up to around 35-72 but drops to like 7 or 3 sometimes as well, so even on the LOWEST settings in the games I can't enjoy the games fully... It lags and such because of the low fps ofc...
Other than that it also have a heat issue, mostly when running windows 8.1 in bootcamp.
It get's quite hot, just by opening a browser window, and yes i have tried reseting smc, and p-rams, many times.. nothing seems to help.
And even if it helped the heat problem, the gaming problem is still there.
Now to my specs: (I have the macbook pro retina, mid 2012, 15 inch)
- Prosseser: 2.6GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 processor (Turbo Boost up to 3.6GHz) with 6MB shared L3 cache. "Core i7" processor (3720QM)
- Memory: 16GB 1600MHz DDR3L onboard memory
- Storage: 256GB ssd flash storage. (Seperated into os x = 130GB, windows 8.1 pro = 120GB) Running games and such from my 1TB external harddisk.
- Graphics and video support:
Intel HD Graphics 4000
NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M with 1GB of GDDR5 memory and automatic graphics switching
Dual display and video mirroring: Simultaneously supports full native resolution on the built-in display and up to 2560 by 1600 pixels on up to two external displays, at millions of colors.
And here's a link to see what is inside it for yourself: http://http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook_pro/specs/macbook-pro-core- i7-2.6-15-mid-2012-retina-display-specs.html
When that is said, apple's warranty has run out, and I didn't buy apple care, but I still have warranty from the store (humac) I bought it in, because in my country the law is warranty 2 years, no matter what, but if i can avoid it, I REALLY would like to avoid switching it out with a new one, since there could be problems all over again, and I would lose what I have on it right now, plus it's a hassle to get a new one, they will always try and fix it for a long long time before they give a new one, and probably can't find the problem...
But if that's the only thing i can do about it, I will ofc, but just don't advise me to do that, unless there's no other solution to the problems.
Please help me.
ps: sorry if I posted it the wrong place, I wasn't allowed to post it the right place by apple...

If the underlying hardware was exposed correctly by the CSM-BIOS when Windows was installed, your Device Manager should look like this.
If the Windows installer did not see any devices as your screen indicates, Windows will use generic software-based drivers which will be very slow and painful.
Rudegar ... I think the Windows installer did not see any hardware, otherwise there should be HW with yellow triangles with exclamation marks.

Satellite P200 (PSPB6A) - Heating Issue

I have recently setup my Toshiba Satellite P200 notebook as a Win-XP(SP 2) & Win-Vista Home Premium dual boot. I have also installed the SpeedFan utility to monitor component temperature on the system.
When booting with Win-Vista Home Premium, the CPU temperature is generally in the 50-55(degree Celsius) range. However, on booting with XP, the temperature shoots up to the 65-70(degree Celsius) range and a loud noise from the fan is heard.
Would someone be able to help me figure out as to what could be the problem with the installation?
Thanks
Arun

You are speaking about heating issue if then temperature increased to 65-70 degree celsius?
Hey buddy, such temperature is nothing unusual
The CPU temperature can increase up to 100 degree Celsius and this depends on the notebook usage
Furthermore you said that you have installed Win XP on this notebook
In this case you should check the Power Saver settings
In Basic Setup you could change CPU control method, CPU processing speed and cooling method these settings would affect the temperature and the cooling

Do latest macbook pro's still have the heat issue? (7/10/06)

wondering if the latest revisions of macbook pro still have the heat issue.. i heard the issue of the fan going off/on causing that 'whine' is gone and now the last thing holding me back from making the 'switch' is this heat dealy.

My week 12 MBP has never had heat issues. It's fast, stable and comfortable to use.
The case bottom of my 5+ year old TiBook gets hotter than the MBP. I've used a tilt stand for PowerBooks for years, both to reduce heat and because I prefer the typing angle.
People are not getting burned. Really. If I were to charge a battery at the same time I'm running processes that load up both CPUs, the metal strip behind the function keys would get quite warm. It might be uncomfortable to touch (but doesn't have to be touched to use the computer). But it will not result in a physical burn, unless one loves discomfort enough to keep touching it for a protracted period. Even then, not a serious burn. A cup of coffee or tea is far more dangerous than a MacBook Pro.
I've encountered several hot-running MBPs owned by people that I know in my local area. In each case, the problem was caused by software that was loading up the processors at full blast. One case was a runaway process that was initiated by software that was incompatible with the Intel processors. Another was caused by a stalled startup item -- again, software incompatible with the Intel CPU. In both cases, Migration Assistant had been used and the applications had not been updated for Intel compatibility.
And still another case was a large collection of Widgets, some of which are badly written and load up the processors. Deactivating all but 3 or 4 Widgets made that computer run cool and quickly.
Complaints about heat on this forum dropped dramatically after the last firmware update.
If you want the most powerful notebook computer Apple has ever designed, get a MacBook Pro. I'm delighted with mine. No fix necessary, thank you.

A7000 heating issue

After recent update, phone ll heat up while using 3g.
Also please consider increasing volumel level, it's low at full volume also compated to other phones.

Lot of issues.
1. Heating issues while charging, while talking, while browsing. Got a 9 mb update 2 day. Let's see what all does get resolved.
2. Still no update to resolve the issue regarding how to transfer apps to external sd card
3. Some times mobile data doesn't get turned on when switching between networks even though the network signal is good. Have to switch off and switch on the phone.
4. Unable to install other apps after installing asphalt 8 even though space is 600 mb under phone memory.
Will keep updating abt issues.
Have been using this phone for the last 20 days.

Heating issue lenovo a6000 plus

What is the normal temperature of A6000 Plus ??

Hi,i have observed the same issue with my Lenovo A6000 Plus.I inserted memory card (7GB was full out of 8GB) loaded with images, songs, videos etc.Phone started heating up badly just like heater when i launch gallery app to check images & videos. but it failed to load images.Then i checked music app to play some sound tracks. i faced the same i.e. songs did not get fetch from SD card.I went in battery settings to check what application is consuming battery. i found that "Mediaserver" application is consuming battery above 70%. Same SD card i inserted in other phones like Motorola. there it works smoothly without any heating issue.I guess lenovo team should fix this problem because eventhough we insert formated SD card, one day it will get full and will face this problem in future too.
