Hey,
I own an Asus K50IE, 1 year old, and lately i've been having the same problem with overheating
While having nothing much opened, i even checked with task manager...nothing more than normal...CPU at 4-5% with spikes at 30% rarely, I have temps around 58°C even going at 70 shown by speedfan. And i have an external cooler.
It started, as far as i remember, with noticing Avira hogging up the CPU, then even after uninstalling it and still having high temps i reinstalled windows and all that....still same problem....opened up my laptop, it wasn't much dust inside but still i cleaned it...heat sink too, no problem with the thermal pads...they're still there intact...ran a virus check ....nothing turns up
At this moment i have my cooler on, only firefox opened, task manager shows 4% use and having a temp of 58 and really warm to the toutch...my fan is working, i feel the heat coming out the back.
Not to mention that it heats up fast as in 20 min from starting it reaches this temp, yesterday, for example, it reached 74.
I have no problems while watching movies, There was only one time it froze and i had to shut it down from its button since it wasn't responding to anything (eg. Alt+F4).
I have however a really stressing problem that i think is related ... it freezes while transferring big files, like movies, either from one folder to another, or from laptop to USB or burning disks, it does this everytime,it makes it impossible to copy anything and i have to shut it down as above.
Thanks for reading, and in advance from help.
P.S. Hope i posted it where i should have
