    Hello,

    i got a Toshiba Satellite L100 laptop and it's getting so hot that i can't do anything. I'm a deep World of Warcraft player actually and this heating problem dosen't let me to enjoy the game anymore :( i got the laptop 1 year ago now i think. Anyway if i wake up at morning turn on the lappy and log to game it's all fine till 30 mins or so goes past, if i place my hand on the processor spot then it's HOT. Okay this was like months ago... i could atleast play. But now im using some sort of cooler behind my lappy to keep it up (it's silly :p) and it appears that even this dosen't want to work anymore for me, i used this cooler for very long time as it was only possible way for me to play normally i never had any problems before. The game is ticking like a clock everything screws up, and also i noticed i CANT TYPE :( when this lappy is getting like warm and im in-game i can't type normally sometimes i need to press the key 2 times before it types it.
    At the end when my PC gets over heated it switches off a blue screen appearing before that and making a beep and it's off.

    *I never cleaned my lappy inside i bet theres dust
    *Any possible way to speed up fans speed maybe?

    I'm open for all sorts of answers expect "buy a new pc :p" cause i wan't to get the problem fixed.

    Regards Morphie

    Undervolt your CPU!!
    Can take 20C off the max temp, maybe even more!
    Usually takes around 10C off the max temp which very good.
    I use RMClock to do it.

    Depends how much you can take away from your CPU.
    I took away 0.250V, I can probably go lower but it is locked
