    Hi everyone,

    I have a problem with my laptop right now. My laptop temperature can climb up to 103C on idle because for some reason the fan is not working. Laptop automatically turn off at 105C I think. When I restart my laptop I can hear my fan spinning again and right now temperature is on 55-60C on idle.

    Is this normal temperature on idle 60C? I already clean the fan dust but I'm still waiting for my thermal paste so right now using old grease.

    From your experience is this motherboard or fan problem? This problem (fan working randomly) has occurred since last 2 weeks.

    Your input is highly appreciated :)
