I look forward to your interesting feedback.
Thanks

 

You need to get temperature readings at idle load (CPU usage below 10%). These look high, but they are at about 40% load, so inconclusive. Yours should be below 50 while idle.

Check the flow of air from the vents on the left while the fan is running full blast. If you can feel hot air 4 to 5 inches away, the cooling system is fine. If you can't feel the air blast, you need to clean the air vents. If the air is not hot, you need to change the thermal paste.

If the CPU load remains high even while you are not doing anything, look in task manager to see what is using up resources. Might be a virus - nuke and clean; might be something normal like an antivirus scan - let that complete, then see if things become normal.

Which graphics driver are you using? The stock driver gave me problems too. Use Andrew08's driver if you are using hybrid switchable graphics, or go for the BIOS HACK and use the latest drivers.

A temporary workaround is to disable hardware acceleration in Chrome settings while you figure out the rest.

 

I appreciate your reply.I still the warm air from the vents. I am still using the supplied drivers for my graphics which had switchable graphics.. How can I get the Andrew o8 driver? How do work on the Bios Hack.. I also did the disable hardware acceleration..I also let chrome to start on a new tab and not from previous open tab.. But there are times that the boot up is good and there are times that during boot up the screen just turn black and the fan seems to run noisily .. there are times that during boot up the screen turns black and there are red stripes that run along the sides of the screen .. During start up when the problem happens I do have to reboot.. Do you have any idea what is it?

 

This thread has Andrew08's drivers. These are the best available for the original configuration - i.e. switchable hybrid graphics.

The BIOS HACK gives you more options in the BIOS, and one of them is to change the video policy from dynamic (default) to static. In the static mode, you change graphics mode by changing the position of the speed/stamina switch and rebooting. Rebooting is a bit of a pain if you have several windows open; it is a much bigger pain if you have an HDD instead of an SSD as the process can take several minutes. The big advantage is that you can use the latest graphics drivers.
