    I got my M14x last June and it worked fine especially I upgrade bios to A05 even the noise is not problem for me. But recently I re-install my system and now my laptop cannot cool itself! I cannot even play games like pes2012 without a cooling pad! Is there any reason why this happen? Help guys.
