my fingers are burning!Help plz

İ do not why. But after i had played several games like Halflife 2, F.E.A.R, Land of the Dead ; where i have to use WASD keys. These keys became hot. And because they became hot. My fingers did not want to play anymore.
I also had fear that my notebook would overheat or something.
İ dont want to play with gloves.

So please help me.

Notebook:
Fujitsu Siemens A45
Pentium M 1.86 Ghz
1gb Ram
128 mb Ram Ati x300
80Gb HD

 

Your keyboard itself is getting hot? That isn't good at all. I'm not sure how to help you though, maybe get a cooling pad?

 

It could be where your video card is. I would blow out the computer with compressed air and follow what rahulnirmal said about getting a cooling pad.

 

Probably a combination of your graphics card and your hard drive, since you have a Pentium M which runs pretty cool. You should definitely take the back off your notebook and make sure it's dust free. Pay particular attention to the fans and the air vents - these can get clogged up with dust bunnies which will seriously limit your laptops ability to expel heat.

I agree, get some compressed air from your nearest computer dealer - just remember to keep the can quite upright when you spray it, because moisture comes out when you tilt it. If you want to play it safe, leave your computer for a few hours after you've sprayed it just to make sure.

A chillpad might also be a good idea - I used one for gaming with my old Averatec which had a Pentium 4 and got really hot. I have the Targus one which was about $50 because it also acted as a USB hub - you can get the cheaper model with no hub (and which powers via the USB port) for around $30. They work two ways - firstly by raising your laptop and thus increasing airflow, secondly by taking hot air away from the bottom of the laptop with its two fans (which you should also spray peridoically).

You can probably get even better mats than the Targus if you research.

 

Thanks ppl for your help.
İ found a coolingpad for 15 dollar. İt can lower the temperatue by 10 degree.
You are right it is the gpu. Because well it mostly heatens up when i play highend graphic games.
İt is a shame that Fujitsu could not handle a quite good cooling solution for the gpu.

How often do i have to use the spray? Everytime if it gets warmed up?

 

How often you use the spray depends on how dusty your environment is. I find I have to spray every couple of weeks, but then again I'm right in the thick of Manhattan. My friend got one of those Freidrich air purifiers after 9/11 because he lives right by ground zero and his notebook seems to need cleaning less frequently.

The only reason you have to spray is to clear the air vents and fans and thus maximize cooling ability. So just spray when you need to. Remember to keep the can upright to avoid getting moisture on your insides!

 

I say that these manufactuers should include some sort of cooling solution to these hot notebooks they sell.
They probably never will, since some of them like Sony are too cheap to even include recovery discs.

 

Holy crap your keyboard gets that hot???? Yikes, mine doesn't get too warm at all. That's a really bad design then, by that manufacturer.

Was it the HP or the Toshiba doing that?

 

Try undervolting CPU too. That can bring another 7-10 degrees down in games especially. This is helpful if the CPU and GPU are under the same heatsink.

Cheers,

 

It is Fujitsu!
**** thats why it was cheaper then the others

@ikovac: İ am using NHC. But i havent found any option to underlow the cpu.
İs it the battery function which i have to choose.

İ am going to buy next week the coolpad.
So long i have to play Dungeon Siege 2 with 83 degree CPU..

 

Wow I thought fujitsu's ran cool.

Hrmm, maybe your heatsink is offset.

 

I fully agree with those that suggest compressed air and blow out the Fans / Vents and a coolling pad. When running games my Laptop use to start aroung 68 Degrees and depending on what game would get to 95 degrees within minutes and then shutdown.

A few squirts of compressed air I now idle at around 47 and have yet to see peaks over 85 (though I am not a big gamer). I also run a Laptop cooler , but as other said this is more the HD not so much CPU / GPU - still will not hurt.

 

Now i loaded NHC!
İ ran games with the option battery optimized..
What happens: İn every game under 65 degree, but it takes helltime to load.

but anyway, on a Lan i need performance, the coolpad is under it next week.

 

Well, all that is doing is making speedstep kick in for an 800mhz chip. I would go for the dynamic switching

 

Something must be terribly wrong here. 83 degrees in games is a bit too much for 1,86 Pentium M, and NHC can easily undervolt Pentium M. Check my signature. Mike is probably right, there must be something with the heatsink. An airpocket or something. I used to have that on my GPU - x700 at 110 in games, now is 80.

Try undervolting thing once more.

Cheers,
