Sony Vaio Laptop keeps overheating
Hi,
I have a Sony Vaio Laptop (PCG-FR415M) which quite often shuts down after an hour or so useage. I'm assuming this is due to overheating because it always feels very hot and the shutting down occurs more frequently on hotter days. The fan is running OK and always starts up within a few moments of booting up from cold after which it seems to run at full speed all the time the laptop is in use. I have checked the air vents are clear and have found that liftting the laptop slightly off the surface helps a bit because the fan is underneath. However it still sometimes shuts down. Any ideas? Many thanks... :crybaby: |

Additionally there may be another fan that needs cleaning as well. -- Jan Alter or |
