    try HWMonitor you dont need to install it just run the exe file whenever you want to check your temperatures. i use to monitor my temperatures. regarding cpu and ram usage you can check through taskmanager as you dont want to install any thing.....

    How old is you laptop?
    You ever blown it out with a can of compressed air?
    I did mine last week, made a big difference, although I have a different laptop.
