    Hi guys,

    Check out this screen shot and tell me please what should I do >>>

    Note: I've noticed that the fans run constantly (low) with 4-5 seconds intervals then they appear to go loud for a glimpse of a second then back again to low, why is that?



    Thanks for replying!

    When was the last time you dusted the insides of your laptop CPU cooling fans and fins as well as completely disassemble the case to clean out the GPU from dust. Usually high heat results when the case hasn't been opened to clean out the dust built up during all those computer usage. Also you should if you haven't remove the GPU and CPU heatsinks and put new thermal paste to improve the cooling for those two heavenly used system.
