FX p7805u

I purchased the p7805u laptop from Best Buy in Febuary or January of 2009. I had no problems with the laptop until a few months ago when I bought a second internal hard drive. The hard drive is the exact same one that come with my computer, just a diffrent revision. (WDC WD3200BEKT-60F3T1) I started to get FPS spikes during game play dropping to almost 0 FPS. After a few seconds it would return to normal and would happen every so often.

I also noticed that some p7805u come with the 1440x900 resolution. My laptop has the 1960x1200 resolution. Why would that be?

Yesterday the computer started to not read my USB Logitech MX Anywhere Mouse. I reinstalled the driver multiple times and found that it was still not working. The device would work for a few minutes to an hour then not be reconized anymore. The batteries are fine, what could the problem be?

Also, running multiple programs at a time seems to cause my computer to run very slow. I also notice that my fans are EXTREMLY hot, almost to hot to touch.

I have restored my computer multiple times to find that I am still having the same problem. BIOS has been updated to 9C.17.00, graphics card has been upgraded to the latest update.

EDIT: I forgot to mention that my GPU is running around 117F during web browsing and around 127F during gaming. What should the tempature be? SpeedFAN is telling me my GPU is running to hot.

The main questions here are these: Could adding another HDD cause my GPU tempature to increase enough to cause FPS spikes? Would my resolution be causing my FPS spikes? (My friend purchased the same model laptop as me a few months after I got mine. He has the 1440x900 resolution and has no FPS problems.) What could be causing my heating problem if I have one?! Could I have possibly installed my new harddrvie wrong? Formatted it incorrectly?

I heard this hardware ID might help with some thing. MONITOR\AUO1088, I had my monitor replaced by Best Buy about a month ago and noticed no problems from that.

Thank you for those who take there time to help me.

Too much heat could be causing the computer's thermal protection to kick in. When you say the fans are extremely hot, do you mean the air coming out from the computer is extremely hot or the parts of the computer around the fans gets extremely hot?

If its the former, are you overclocking your GPU? Try turning the clocks down.

If its the latter, the fins on your GPU heatsink may be clogged and need to be cleaned. Look in the stickies at the top of this forum for the disassembly guide, you'll have to take everything apart to get to the GPU.

Clean the CPU heatsink while you're at it too, that one is much easier to reach.

 

Yes, the air coming from the fans is extremly hot to touch and the parts where my HHD are located on my computer are hot too. They arn't hot to touch, but you can definately feel the heat coming from them. I feel heat coming foro the top right, top left and bottom center. Where my CPU GPU and HHD are in my computer. I haven't even overlocked my CPU GPU or anything. Thanks for you help. I will check the heatsink when I get home later tonight. But could there be another issue from the hard drive I had installed?

 

I have exact same computer you have (even the screen) I dont have they problem but i open all the pannels that are on the back and blow it out with compressed air every so often.

 

Thanks, I just did that same thing. Some lint came out of the fan on the top right side, the CPU area, but is the GPU located without the removable panel? I think I might need to clean that one out.

EDIT: Stil having mouse problems just contacted Logitech through e-mail hoping for there response. Logitech Anywhere MX mouse if any of you were wondering. Also, my GPU tempature is running a lot lower after cleaning out the heatsink! THANK YOU! xD

EDIT: It seems like my GPU still is running hot when I play WoW. It is around 67 - 70C what is wrong?!
