i think my lappy is over heating. when ever i touch the side it is hot. and not warm it burns my hand enough to make it red for a while. i downloaded everest and speedfan and everest has no temp info. speedfan finds the cpu to be at 102c which i think is near impossible or the pc will shut down. now this thing runs unbelievably slow. i mean it takes about 5 mins to open up IE. i just reinstalled windows. it has 768 mb's of ram and 128 used by the graphics. how can i tell, and what should i do if it is over heating? i have no idea how to open up a laptop and really do not want to unless its the only thing i can do
 
your fan doesnt kick on? dude, my Dell maxes at 133c, runs fine at them temps, Everest should've told you the temps.?
 
wow is it really get that hot? yea my fan works but i thought it should never get that hot. no, didnt get any temps from everest only speedfan which i do not like. i dont think i even have a fan because speedfan said 0rpm for cpu fan

You do know thats 271F right, and the boiling point of water is 212F? If thats true, then before it even gets close to that temperature, every single plastic piece in your laptop would melt, and completely destroy your laptop.
 
thats why i thought 102c was wrong but 133c has to be even wronger. maybe they are innacurate temps because of the small space?
 
I had a laptop that overheated, and bought a cooling pad that clips onto the bottom and two really thin fans circulate the air, worked wonders.
 
My laptop runs at 55 C. Before I had fixed my issue it ran at 74 C. It was as hot as you had described when I would touch it. What I did is busted out my hoover vacuum and put the hose on the exhaust fan while holding my hand on the vent, on the underside of my laptop. This gave maximum air flow through the heat sync sucking up all the lint stuck in there. I would not try to use the hose on the exhaust vent side as it may jam any lint in the heat sync.

As for the program, speedfan I would try to restart it as it did something very similar to me. I doubt anything over 100 as mine was at 74 and it was extremely hot to the touch on plastic!

I have a hp ze5300 with a northwood p4 and it runs at 57C with a laptop cooler strapped to the bottom. Even with the damn cooler the fan still runs at full speed. Get a cooler, as it might or might not solve your overheating problem;)
 
i do have a cooler. its a cheap piece. its like a piece of plastic with two fans. i am going to look now for a correct temp
