Overheating like crazy.

Hey all. So I have cpufreq-utils installed, and have the governor as OnDemand as per the wiki's suggestion.
Problem: EVERYTHING makes my CPU usage go up and my temp shoot to over 70C, which makes the system freeze if left unchecked. If I watch an HD video on YouTube, a big video in VLC, use MusicBrainz Picard, or compile ANYTHING, I have to shift to the PowerSave governor just to avoid my system crashing.
Is there any kind of a fix to this? It's driving me crazy. I've got an Intel C2D and using Arch64.

Having worked with an overheating C2D before, they tend to run up to about 75-80C before hitting the automatic shutdown point. I agree with everyone above; take the laptop apart and use arctic silver on the CPU between it and its heatsink. I usually use rubbing alcohol and a cotton swab to clean the CPU and its fan before I reapply (the alcohol evaporates nicely), then apply a 3/4ths-dime size blob of paste to the CPU and spread it using a plastic sandwich bag over my index finger. Reattach the heatsink securely, and voila.
Some tips about laptop repair:
* Take it slow when disassembling and reassembling or you might yank a cord out.
* Keep all your screws separate by length/width/type.
* Make sure you plug all the cords back in where they belong.
* Test all your keys when you restart it to make sure you haven't missed anything.

Anyone having issues with iPad2 screen opening and closing like crazy on it's own?

My iPad2 screen just started opening & closing on it's own like crazy. Like it has a mind of it's own. Driving me insane. Just typing this out will take me over two mins. Anyone know how to fix this??

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart iPad: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPad. To turn iPad back on, press and hold the Sleep/Wake until the Apple logo appears.
Reset iPad: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Ignore the "Slide to power off".

This isn't a question but rather a warning to anyone using the new OS for iphone 4. The imessage uses up your data plan like crazy. I called Apple about it and they said no it's not doing it. I called AT

The new OS is burning through my data plan like crazy and here's why. Imessage uses your data plan and not your texting plan. So every time you send a text message to someone with an iphone it uses imessage and it uses your data, not your text plan. I couldn't figure out why I was burning through so much of my data plan so quickly. I called Apple and they said, no it's not the data plan doing it. I called AT&T and they said, yes, the imessage uses data instead of your texting plan if you are texting to another iphone. Also, the new OS runs your apps all the time, even when you aren't using them. So if you are not near wifi your apps are running and burning your data plan. The AT&T guy took me through the steps to turn off the apps. You can still use them but they won't be running constantly. Seriously Apple, you should let people know this. It does say it in the fine print on the website "data rates may apply" under imessage but most people will never read this. So my data plan started on October 10th and it's already at 175 megabytes and I only have a 200 megabyte plan. I've never used more than 50 to 75 megabytes in a month. Apple get it together and be honest with people and tell them. Quit denying the problem. Most people have probably not even discovered this yet. Wait till you get your bill.

It's not really common knowledge because I've talked to several people today and none of them knew about it. Also, when I called Apple they said no the new OS is not using data. Totally wrong answer. You'd think they'd know about it and at least tell people. The people who are going to be hit by this are people like me with the 200mb plans. I just think it's best to spread the word so people can know what's happening. I still don't know how I went through so much data in such a short period of time. It's not happening anymore though, not since I fixed everything up last night.
If you are using a free wifi connection, there are no data charges with iMessage. But in an area where you did NOT have a wifi connection, of course it used 3G and of course you got charged for it (or had it count against your plan limits).
I'll ask again - without a wifi connection, just what did you think was happening? How did you think your iPhone was able to magically send a message WITHOUT using any data connection? A little bit of rational thought would have made you realize that there was no way, over a 3G connection (which is a service provided by your cellular service provider, NOT Apple), that you can send or receive ANYTHING without your service provider's plan picking it up.
Nothing abut iMessage has ever hinted that it can, in any way, bypass your service provider when NOT using a wifi connection.

Flash Player is causing my Web Pages to flash like crazy Need help!

I need help, I'm running a computer with Windows 98 4.10.1998
and Running Internet Explorer ver. 6.0.2800.1106IC
I had some problems I have fix eveything but when I got to a
web page it wants
to install and run flash player if I do Install and run, all
my web pages flash
like crazy every clickable icon or line flash the screen
makes it flicker so hard
it is enough to give you a headache. Ad boxes on the pages
flash like a lighting
strorm. How do I fix this? I never had this before, I ran the
flash player debug file
that made no change. Help!

Already checked the Event Viewer. The only thing I could find is this critical level event
The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly.
This only happens when I am running a flash video in IE10. In Chrome everything works fine. I downgraded flash player to 11.4 but with no luck.
From the event viewer, the reboots started from sometime in september.(this is my parents' pc)
I think I found the problem. I changed my video card, a 9600GT, a few months ago with a GT630. I switched back to the 9600GT, and it looks like the issue is not happening any more. But it's still verry ackward for the issue to happen only on IE10.
I'm still testing to be sure that the video card is the problem.

I was printing last night and my HP6500 started blinking like crazy and now even the print test page

I was printing last night and my HP6500 all-in-one started blinking like crazy and now even the test print page wont print. Control panel says it's fine, which obviously it's NOT.
Any ideas?

Yikes...a 200 error...while the official KB for that is not presently available, the usual fix is to reload your OS...something during the update did not go right.

Download dictionary within Kindle app causes Notification red LED flashes like crazy

I'm not sure if it's a Kindle issue or BB10 OS issue, but it was kind interesting on my Z10 when it happened.
I've installed the Kindle app from appworld and I downloaded a free book, touch any content would prompt to download a dictionay for it, confirm it and the Notification red LED started to flash like crazy until the download was completed.
Have a great weekend.

It must have been a thriller that you were downloading 'cause you don't get that from heavy drama novels.

Ipod speeds up like crazy - iphone 4

I have an iphone 4, and am having a problem with the ipod function. After about 15 min of use (always when I'm running) the songs start speeding up like crazy and sometimes it won't even stop when I press stop, pause, etc. Anyone else have this? Any idea how to fix it? Obviously it makes my ipod function unusable - it's messing with my pace! Please help....

The name of the phone under devices shows up correctly, as "maryann's iphone", but in iTunes it shows up as the 4 not the 5. Even the phone icon is for the 4. When she unplugged it and plugged it back in, it said her iPhone 4 was up to date, everything is referring to the 4, which is the old phone. Probably need to get that changed some how I'm thinking...

Google Earth 7.1 - planet is spinning like crazy

Hi,
today when I opened Google Earth, the window came up, the overlays loaded and then the planet startet to spin like crazy. Everything I tried did not stop the spinning. It spins fast and constantly moves from north to west and back to north. It is unusable and I have no clue, where that is coming from. I googled the problem and could not really find any usable info, that's why I am posting it here now.
I have rebootet my machine, deleted the app and redownloaded it from Google to no avail. Still doing the same crazy thing. I just used it last week a few times and all was fine. I have not done any hardware changes or hook ups to my iMac since then. For all the years I use Google Earth, I have never had anything like that.
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers
Peter

Check your USB devices.
I had the same problem and went through the whole delete and reinstall the application rigmarole, including preferences and everything that I could find, even in the hidden /User/Libray folder, and nothing worked until I Googled the problem and found the answer: that by unplugging my (rarely used) USB steering wheel, quitting Google Earth (easier said than done as it was very sluggish in responding) then restarting Google Earth, the application now works perfectly.
Relief!
So it seems that, in my case, a USB device was sending the earth into a spin.

Dropping calls like crazy..why!!??

I normally have great service at home..but the past few days, I'm dropping calls like crazy..have to go outside and stand in the driveway. NOT convenient! Also I keep losing my wifi when i go to the other end of the house, it starts using my 3G, never had that issue before either. Is there something I can do? Beyond frustrated....

To power cycle device press the power button until you get the slider on screen to power device down.... Once its powered down press the power button again to power device back on.. Also you can press power button and home button to do a hard reboot.
When it is reported to retest your device all you have to do is simply use the device like usual and see if the issue continue.

Skype lags like crazy

So firstly my older version of Skype just refused to connect. I tried everything and one of these was to upgrade to the lastest one which shows Skype 6.22 in my remove programs list.
Now it connects, but it takes up about 33% of my CPU and just locks up and lags and goes into not responding. It does run okay for a while and then just all of a sudden increases CPU usage something crazy. Restarting it makes it okay for a few minutes again and then same cycle.
How do I fix this?
Even when I try to downgrade to a later version it doesn't allow me into group chats even though single chats work. I can't leave the group or remove it to be added again. The other people say I am still showing as in there.
Is there anything that can fix this? In general Skype lags at times and is slow and seeming as if every now release is making it worse.
I am using Windows 8.1 latest update with the lastest update Skype.
Any suggestions here?

This is on my work laptop. So I am kind of stuck with this piece of blergh they gave me...
The weird thing is the pc performs fine and everything else runs fine.
It is JUST Skype Desktop version that lags.
I have now been forced to use this Windows 8 Skype abomination.
I even tried 4 different versions and did all the temp file removal and Skype setup _old thing.
When I use old versions I just can't be added to group chats at all and when I use the latest deskptop one it lags like crazy. Sigh... How is a popular program like Skype THIS buggy?

My iphone exploded near my ear and the phone is bulging like crazy

I just got an Iphone 3Gs about a week ago (although second hand from my uncle, but in very good condition).
Two days ago, I had the first problem which was the right headphone stopped working - I believe unrelated, but, I am trying to list every problem/oddity and the timing is suspect!
Yesterday, I recorded a voice memo and it was very quiet, then, whilst in the car, I tried to do voice dialing and the phone just turned off (tried several times and after the fourth, it actually worked).
Today, when I got to work, I saw that the silver trim on the front had come loose at the top right corner and the screen was poking out ever so slightly.. I have been so careful with the phone and I couldn't work it out as it seemed bent rather than broken/smashed etc..
Tonight, my phone rang and as I went to answer, there was a massive bang that scared the life out of me (and hurt like crazy)... I then noticed that the phone has completely bulged to a square outline which I believe is the battery.
It is turned off and I believe it is still expanding.
I am very concenred (and in pain!) and have found numerous other similar stories of bulging batteries but was wondering what outcomes other people have had or if anyone can offer any advice to stop it from expanding further.
Thanks,
William

Get it out of your house. There is nothing you can do to stop the chemical reaction that is making the battery expand and it may pose a fire hazard. Make an appointment at the genius bar and take it in to see what they say.
The vast majority of expanding or exploding batteries can be traced to either liquid damage or faulty repairs. If it is under warranty, Apple will replace it. If not, they will probably offer you an out of warranty replacement. Without knowing the history of the phone in detail, it's impossible to say what the root cause was.

HT4623 My iphone is draining like crazy. i gets completely empty within 06 hours while idling... i am baffled.. please help

My iphone is draining like crazy. i gets completely empty within 06 hours while idling... i am baffled.. please help

There's an app on the phone that is stuck sending data, or trying to send and failing, and in an infinite loop. Mail can do this if you have an Exchange account or iCloud account. Sometimes a corrupt calendar entry or contact can cause this.
But first, if you have either type of account go into Settings and turn it off, then reboot the phone (hold HOME and SLEEP until an Apple logo appears). If the problem goes away you have identified the culprit. If you turn the account back on and the problem does not come back no further action is required.
If this doesn't fix it you have to find the app. Any app that exchanges a lot of data (Facebook, Whatsapp, etc) is a possibility.

Hello, all of a sudden without apparent reason I can't get "MAIL" to function. It starts up but I get the color wheel turning like crazy and never ends. I've tried restarting and I still can't get it to work. PLEASE HEEELP!?

Itunes radio skips like crazy.

My iTunes radio will play a song then begin to skip like crazy. Quitting music and relaunching it allows one song to play then the issue occurs again. I can see songs as they go by but it is like somoene is holding down the forward skip button. This is only occurring on my 5s and was not an issue on my 4s prior to upgrading. This occurs still after the 7.0.1 patch.

+1 same issue here.
Not sure exactly when it started, but seems like it was sometime on or after 3/7.
It appears to affect every device I have on the home network (iMac, MacBook Pro, Macbook Air, iPhone, iPad). Most devices are wifi, but I can confirm the issue also occurs on my iMac which is connected via ethernet. I'm able to get both iTunes match streaming and iTunes Radio streaming to the iPhone and iPad if I disable wifi and use LTE.
On my iOS devices, it just looks like it's skipping songs repeatedly...every now and then it might play one song, but it skips 30-50 before that happens. A few times it just kept skipping until the device rebooted itself. On my OS X devices, I don't get any of the skipping, it just looks like it's trying to load the radio station (i get the blue progress bar at 100% but nothing ever happens).
For what it's worth, I'm using an Apple Time Capsule for as my DHCP for ethernet and wifi. My internet provider is Cox Communications.

Overheating like crazy.
