    Hello people!

    For start off. I bought my Zepto laptop in december from Finland sales company called Digicomp and it was working fine!

    But like week ago i instaled FarCry game i was so happy to run it at max settings (my old computer was so crap that i wouldnt have dreamed about things like this) and i played for like 25mins and then my "Notebook Hardware Controll 2.0" gave me pop up witch said something like "Your CPU has reached temprature 95C and your computer is restarting in 60secs" I was like wtf and just pressed "cancell the shutdown process" and quited my farcry.

    So i called to the service and they sayed they talk whit Zepto guys about this

    and then She called me afther day and sayed theyre ordering some parts like new fan from denmark to theyr shop and i when they arrive i need to send my laptop to there. I was like okay but if the overheating happens afther that they say i need to just turn my video settings to worse. I was like WTF again and sayed it aint my fault that u your cooling system sucks. They just sayed that lets wait for they to install the new fan. Then i was like ok.

    Then i called the Consumer helper guy and talked about my problems whit this company, that i couldnt use my computers resources like they promised(Zepto) and he said that im right if they didint say anything like that in the marketing plan (you cant use this at full power etc etc.), and now im just waiting for the parts from denmark.

    So is there anyone who got theyr money back because of the heat problem?

    Hey, That sounds like a little hot indeed, but I think your CPU can handle 95 degree fine, Try turning the NHC off. I think it's just a software shutdown command not a hardware one.

    And those tempratures are indeed too hot. Zepto company thinks that too.

    I had the same problem with my 6615WD laptop. I bought a can of compressed air and blew gently into the fan duct on the left side of the computer to clean out all the dust. Out of the fan duct came a cloud of dust and I haven't had any problems with heat since.
