Question: Laptop overheats after installing windows 10

Good day.
I have an Asus k551LB laptop. After installing window 10, the PC began to warm up even in idle mode, which was not the case with win 8.1. Tell me how this can be fixed and have you personally encountered such a problem?
Having asked friends a similar question, we managed to find out that their PCs also suffered from overheating, and when installing win 8.1, the problem disappeared.

Answer: SanychBY, perhaps this has nothing to do with your problem at all.

Question: After installing Windows 7, the USB ports, touchpad, and Internet do not work

after buying a laptop x540lj, which had Windows 10. I decided to install Windows 7. and now after installing Windows 7, the usb ports, touchpad, and Internet do not work. what to do?

Answer: efjifwe, installing Windows is an incomplete matter. To do this, you need to install drivers, which can be downloaded from the official website of your laptop manufacturer.
If there really are no drivers for Windows 7, then you need to return the version of Windows that was originally installed.
And, by the way, if you still have a warranty, then you reinstalled Windows in vain, since this will simply void your warranty.

Question: How to roll back Windows 8.1 after installing Windows 10

How to roll back windows 8.1 after installing windows 10?

Added after 31 minutes
I looked at all your mentioned topics, but didn’t find anything on my own. Just answer please - can I return (roll back) win 8.1 or not? If not, what is the solution? Reinstall again?

Answer: There should be a Start>Settings>Update & Security>Recovery button.
You can also call by starting to type the initial letters “ver” of the word “return” in the windows search field next to the start button.

It’s interesting that I myself only got the opportunity to roll back today. It didn’t exist before, although at first I climbed everywhere in the new system and also tried to find it. Why it appears and disappears is unknown. This is the magic of Windows 10
These little dirty tricks spoil the overall impression. What did the insiders do for 2 years if after the release it is still impossible to simply change the DNS addresses in the Internet connection properties. Are they selling a beta version or are these problems only affecting those who upgraded to 10 via an update?

To prevent this from happening, it was necessary to create a system image using third-party programs like Acronis or even standard Windows tools. They would simply restore the system partition from the image in 10 minutes and continue to use the old system as if nothing had happened.

Question: After installing Windows 10, one column stopped working

D good time of day!
After installing Windows 10, one column stopped working
connected from music center to the PC, if I connect the cable through the phone they work 2.
When connecting regular speakers, both work
Before this, the same problem already existed (on Windows 8.1), and was somehow solved.
I connect the cable through the back panel, and through the front panel from the music. There is only one center working. What could be the problem?

Added after 16 hours 39 minutes
The problem has been fixed!

Answer: after connecting the subwoofer and turning on the stereo mode on the music center, both speakers started working

Question: Terrible performance drop after installing Windows 10

Good day!
After installing Windows 10, a problem appeared. It lies in the fact that FPS drops terribly in games (by 20-50). But after rebooting the computer everything returns to normal. It happened that after another clean installation of 10 everything was normal and the problem did not appear. Now I'm faced with her again. And what’s most interesting is that performance drops precisely in games; by minimizing it, the PC works normally without a single lag.

Laptop: ASUS K56CB, i3, 4GB RAM, Nvida Geforce 740M

Suspicions:
1. Sleep mode. After resuming work after sleep the problem started. Perhaps you need to install a bunch of ExpressCache software correctly. Although on 8K before it worked well without it.
2. Default video card. The laptop has 2 video cards. Yesterday I noticed that during the game (FPS 2-10) the cooler of a high-performance Nvida card does not work. This is where the suspicion crept in that the laptop started with built-in Intel HD graphics. Although I set the settings to run only through Nvida.

What I tried:
1. Fresh drivers using DriverPack Solution;
2. Installing all drivers using 10 itself;
3. Clearing cache, temporary files, defragmentation;
4. Disabling left services;
5. Setting the default video card;
6. Specifying the exact size for the paging file;
7. Reading the Windows installation (as I wrote above, whether it helps or not).

Sorry for the chaotic presentation of thoughts

How much time is desirable?

Message from LonerZzz

Therefore, the test must be carried out for at least 10-15 minutes or until the temperatures stabilize. If it reaches the dangerous mark, the computer will either turn off on its own or turn it off yourself...if the temperature goes beyond 90 degrees

Message from CoD - MW2

The laptops have switchable graphics, it is quite possible that they switch to built-in graphics.

This doesn’t happen...it’s either built-in or Nvidia. Otherwise the game would crash... much like when the driver fails.

Message from CoD - MW2

Nvida high performance card cooler not working

It is there 1 and in most cases the programs on the laptop incorrectly determine the speed... if they determine it at all.
In general, do a normal test... and based on the results... we'll see what to do next... and we'll guess and configure the BIOS in which in 70% of cases there is no such add-on later

Question: After installing Windows 10 on a new PC, when loading the OS, a message appears: “The computer is not starting correctly”

Hello everyone, I hope you can help!

I purchased a new PC and also decided to use Windows 10 for the first time. So we have:
- New computer, no optical drive;
- 8GB flash drive (installation, with Windows 10);
- 16GB flash drive (image of drivers from the motherboard).

Since I purchased the hardware without an optical drive, and immediately after installing Windows 10, the computer did not see the network adapters, I had to write an image of the motherboard drivers onto a 16GB flash drive. After installing Windows from a flash drive (the one with 8GB), it works fine. The PC reboots without problems. After installing the drivers on the motherboard from a flash drive (the one with 16GB), the computer reboots in normal mode. But as soon as I try to install other programs or additional drivers from the manufacturer’s website, the computer stops booting normally, a message pops up when loading the OS: “The computer is not running correctly,” thereby forcing me to reinstall Windows 10 again. This situation has been repeated three times already, and I don’t know what caused this reaction. In all cases, Kaspersky Total Security was already installed. The second time, the computer completely froze while installing a driver for the chip set, downloaded from the motherboard manufacturer’s website (ASUS Z170 Pro Gaming). After rebooting the OS would not turn on. The third and last time, the situation repeated itself after installing drivers on the video card (GeForce GTX960 4GB Gigabyte). The installer asked to reboot and the OS again treacherously did not start.

Now I have installed Windows 10 for the 4th time. I installed the drivers on the motherboard from a flash drive. I tried rebooting the system - everything is fine. I’m even afraid to install Kaspersky or update drivers for the same video card.

Can you tell me what the problem might be?

Any opinions guys?

Answer:

Message from All

Are you connected correctly?
Have you tried reconnecting?
Did you install the drivers from the motherboard website, are there 3 of them? That's what they don't write on the website.

I connected it correctly, as evidenced by the fact that in the settings when checking, the speakers play (all except the subwoofer), but when you turn on the music, only the two front ones work. I tried all the drivers from the motherboard manufacturer's website. I think you need to look for drivers on the Realtek website, but I'm not sure.

Question: Wi-Fi disappears after installing Windows 10

Good afternoon
I can’t solve the problem of wifi disappearing, the story goes like this...

I decided to install windows 10, installed everything was ok, on the same day wifi started to drop, I thought something with the router (Mikrotik) on win7 was working perfectly, I checked it on other devices, wifi works fine, so the router no longer works.

Not long ago I bought a wifi adapter d-link dwa 127 for a computer on win7, everything worked fine, after installing win10 problems started, there were errors at first;
1) the default gateway..... (the most popular mistake)

It was eliminated automatically and the error appeared after different times: 5 minutes and up to 5-6 hours

I crawled around the Internet looking for a problem, tried everything from power supply to updating drivers, but nothing helped, although after updating the network card and adapter to the latest drivers, other errors began to appear:
1) lack of 1 or several network protocols
2) router security key
3) the wire is damaged
and so on... the Internet began to disappear even faster, sometimes the wifi itself restarted and appeared, sometimes it just fell off and that’s it

Network card: Realtek PCie gde family
Adapter: d-link dwa 127

I thought the problem was in Windows, but after rolling back to win7 the same thing happened again, the problems started immediately after installing win10

Initially, it was known that the Windows 10 operating system would have the same system requirements as Windows 8.1 and Windows 7, and that it would work without problems on devices that had previously successfully “cooperated” with the mentioned operating systems, but practice has shown the opposite. As the correspondents of the “Stock Leader” publication in the Hi-tech section found out, many users who upgraded to the “ten” began to receive complaints about overheating of the equipment and a reduction in the battery life of laptops.

The problem, having encountered it personally, was described in more detail by an employee of the specialized resource Softpedia, whose laptop (released several years ago Lenovo T400s) worked without problems on Windows 8.1 and Ubuntu, and after switching to Windows 10 began to overheat in less than five minutes from the moment it was turned on . This laptop model has a Core 2 Duo processor with a frequency of 2.5 GHz, 8 gig of RAM and a battery that previously provided two hours of battery life on Windows 8.1, and after installing Windows 10 the charge began to last for 40 minutes.

Microsoft developers are confident that the new platform really affects the overheating of devices and that increased heat generation affects the chemical processes occurring in the batteries, which leads to loss of charge. While software company specialists are thinking about solving the problem, craftsmen advise disabling unnecessary processes and programs that are running in the background.

Dell and HP will help sell Microsoft's Surface Pro tablets.

The Surface Enterprise Initiative is a new initiative from the software giant aimed at increasing the use of Surface Pro tablets on Windows 10 in the enterprise segment, and within its framework, the implementation of these devices will be carried out by several vendors. Companies such as Dell, HP, and Accenture/Avanade have already joined the program, and there will be even more participants in the future.

Dell's Surface Pro, for example, will be offered along with accessories (styluses, keyboard cases, docking stations) and a variety of services, such as device setup, further support and warranty service.

Microsoft shares today, as noted by analysts at the Nord FX broker, have risen in price by 0.51% since the beginning of trading and consolidated around $43.29.

Question:
Acer Aspire 5530 model, 2 GHz processor, 3 GB RAM, ATI Radeon 3200 HD Graphics video card... There was a problem that the computer slowed down very much, and sometimes overheated, when I watch movies, play games, it slowed down everywhere... I reinstalled the drivers, it didn't help. I had Windows Vista, reinstalled it on XP Proffesional, installed the drivers, the slowdown stopped... But as soon as I go into some game that requires 512 MB of RAM or higher, it overheats and turns off... I cleaned the laptop a month ago, there is thermal paste , there is a stand. Tell me, please, what else could be the problem?? Thank you in advance!
Answer:
If the laptop gets very hot and turns off without warning, immediately after cleaning, it looks like there is a defect in the motherboard, provided that the cleaning was done properly. The only way out is to submit it for diagnostics.

Question:
The laptop works fine, but gets hot. It turned out that the fan turns off 2 - 3 seconds after turning on the computer. The inside is clean, but I also cleaned it thoroughly just in case. The fan rotates easily!.. What can I recommend to do? Thank you!
Answer:
All laptops heat up, some more, some less, to understand whether the values ​​are within normal limits, you need to programmatically measure the temperature under load and when the system is idle, perhaps in your case everything is fine.

Question:
SAMSUNG R420 XA-03 (OC: WinVista HB). Was purchased three years ago. I have never played games on it, only office applications and low quality movies. About three months ago the hard drive started to get very hot and I decided to completely clean the entire computer. Completely disassembled, cleaned everything, applied new thermal paste. Did not help. It only got worse. It began to heat up more (the whole laptop already) and slow down from scratch. I decided to reinstall the OS. I reinstalled it from the factory Recovery partition, and installed the drivers from the disk supplied with the computer by the same manufacturer. Did not help. I checked with different popular antiviruses - the result was 0. I bought a stand with fans - it saved me for a month and now it began to turn off even with it. Without it, it practically cannot work (either it is hot as a stove, or it slows down very much). I have several questions for you: 1. Could I somehow damage it while disassembling the device? Before that, I had a lot of experience on desktop PCs. I took the laptop apart for the second time in my life. 2. What could cause the cooler not to work (in three years of use I have not heard it even once, when I took it apart I checked it - it works)? I really ask for your advice and help. You can write by E-Mail.
Answer:
1) Yes, disassembling can damage the motherboard

2) The cooler may not spin well due to a manufacturing defect; dust may have gotten inside or the supply voltage is insufficient. In most cases, it can be repaired with improvised means. In your case, it is important to make sure that there is enough thermal paste, this can be done by applying it to the surface of the chip, then pressing the plane of the cooling plate, and then see if there is a print left.

What is a laptop? It's a portable laptop that works equally well anywhere and on any surface.

Sometimes this feature plays a cruel joke on the device. Due to the abundance of dust in the air, the laptop heats up and does not turn off.

The general layout looks like this:

The diagram, which is typical for the vast majority of devices, shows where the key components are located:

1) central cooler;

These elements are responsible for the performance and speed of work in general. If the laptop, over time, begins to overheat and slow down, then the matter is not limited to reinstalling the OS.

The problem is most often hardware. In other words, the laptop is full of dust that needs to be cleaned.

Dust in the system

Important! Before disassembling your laptop, be sure to watch relevant videos on the Internet. They describe in detail the sequence of removing components, talk about the pitfalls of assembly, secret plugs and more.

A dusty cooler is often very noisy and annoying. It looks like this:

As you can see, it is simply unable to draw in air, since the radiator is simply clogged.

Here's the big picture:

All dust is carefully blown out, after which the board elements are carefully cleaned with a soft bristle brush so as not to damage the delicate parts of the boards and microcircuits.

In the vast majority of cases, regular cleaning saves you from many problems, and the machine starts working as before.

Thermal paste

There are times when regular cleaning does not give the desired effect. Most likely, the thermal paste in the system has simply dried out due to elevated temperatures of the processor and video adapter.

As a result, the laptop heats up.

What is this paste?

This is a multi-component composition, which is a “layer” between the central computing chip and the cooling surface to which the heat pipes are connected.

It prevents the elements from overheating due to their special composition.

In the screenshot, the cooling plates look like this:

Well, this is the appearance of the processor with a dried layer of paste.

You need to clean off the old “cooler” very carefully, never using sharp objects.

Otherwise, you can damage the entire structure of the central chip or video card, which can lead to more serious damage.

Gently scrape off the hardened compound using a wooden or plastic scraper, and clean off any remaining residue using a cotton pad soaked in acetone.

Nail polish remover will also work. This will also degrease the surface.

The thermal paste looks like this:

To apply a new layer, squeeze a small amount of the composition from the tube and, using a plastic card, carefully distribute the contents over the entire surface of the chip.

The layer should not exceed 1 mm. Otherwise, the cooling system plate will not fit tightly to the elements, and the paste itself will dry out quickly.

If this doesn't help either:

You have cleaned the contents of your laptop from dust, changed the paste to fresh one, but the problem is still not solved. First of all, pay attention to the operation of the cooler.

It is quite possible that its service life has already expired and the fan needs to be replaced.

There are also laptop models that initially become very hot after prolonged “hard work”: video editing, graphic editors and other resource-intensive applications.

Or the cooling design is thought out very mediocrely.

Another option is a factory defect.

Preventing overheating

To protect yourself from dust getting inside the system, just follow a few simple rules:

1) do not place the laptop on the sofa or other soft surfaces;

2) periodically clean the ventilation system;

3) avoid dusty rooms;

4) regularly wipe the desktop on which the computer rests.

If you are not satisfied with the standard cooling, purchase an additional stand that will provide a more intense flow of cold air. She looks like this:

Its design has one or two large-diameter coolers that blow air over the lower area of ​​the device.

Test software

The temperature regime of key components can be monitored not only tactilely by placing your hand on the laptop lid, but also programmatically.

Let's look at the example of the last representative. To do this, you need to download the product, fortunately it is distributed free of charge, but only for 30 days.

After the trial period, you will need to enter a license key. But the trial version also copes with its tasks.

After installation, we launch and see this picture:

To find out the temperature conditions of the processor and other elements, double-click on “My Computer”, and select “Sensors” from the drop-down list:

The screen displays current information about the current state of the hardware. It is updated in real time, so all data will always be up to date.

If the temperature exceeds 60–65 degrees, this is a reason to think about it and take appropriate measures.

Or turn off the laptop for a while so that it has time to cool completely.

Why does your laptop, processor or video card overheat? How to fix it.

The laptop, processor, video card or PC gets very hot. How to fix it. There can be many reasons for overheating of a PC, video card, processor or laptop. The main one is dust in the cooling system

The reasons for a laptop’s strong heating can be very diverse, ranging from blockages in the cooling system to mechanical or software damage to the microchips responsible for consuming and distributing energy between individual parts of the laptop’s internal structure. The consequences may also differ, one of the common ones is. In this article, we will look in detail at what to do if the laptop is overheating, and how to prevent this problem when using it in the future.

The next reason can be, and often becomes, a malfunction of the cooling fan. In modern laptops, active cooling is carried out, as in early bulky models, by a fan that circulates air through the cooling system. As a rule, the operating time of a fan is from two to five years, but sometimes the operating time is reduced due to manufacturing defects or improper operation.

In any case, if the fan begins to hum, make noise or spin slowly, as a result of which the laptop begins to heat up more, you should, if you have the necessary skills, sort out the bearings inside it, carefully prying and removing the fan blades, and also replace the oil lubricant inside the fan. True, not all fans, especially in the newest laptops, are subject to repair, so it is better to contact a professional service to avoid unnecessary losses.

Unfortunately, it is impossible to prevent such a malfunction. The only thing you should try to avoid is throwing the laptop across the room, to avoid displacement of the bearings along the axis, as well as dropping it from your lap during operation (a very likely event, which, however, more often leads to failure of the hard drive or matrix).

Other Possible Causes

In addition to the things already described that can cause a problem, you should keep in mind some others.

• In a warm room, the laptop will heat up more than in a cold room. The reason for this is that the cooling system in a laptop uses the air around it, forcing it through itself. The average operating temperature inside a laptop is considered to be around 50 degrees Celsius, which is quite high. But the warmer the surrounding air, the more difficult it is for the cooling system and the more the laptop heats up. So don't use your laptop near a heater or fireplace, or at least place your laptop as far away from them as possible. One more point: in summer the heating will be greater than in winter and it is at this time that it is worth taking care of additional cooling.
• Along with external factors, internal ones also affect the heating of the laptop. Namely, the actions that the user performs using the laptop. Its energy consumption depends on how loaded the laptop is with complex tasks, and the higher the energy consumption, the more active the heating of microchips and all the insides of the laptop occurs, due to an increase in the power released in the form of heat by all components of the laptop (this parameter has its own name - TDP and is measured in Watts).
• The more files are moved around the file system or transferred and received over external communication channels, the harder the hard drive has to work, which results in its heating. To reduce the heating of the hard drive, it is recommended to turn off the distribution of torrents after they are downloaded, unless you need the opposite for ideological or other reasons, and to minimize access to the hard drive in other ways.
• During active gameplay, especially in modern computer games with first-class graphics, the graphics system, and all other components of the laptop computer - RAM, hard drive, video card (especially if a discrete chip is used) and even the laptop battery are subject to serious loads due to high power consumption during game time. Lack of good cooling under prolonged and constant loads can lead to the breakdown of one of the laptop devices or damage to several. And also to its complete inoperability. The best advice here is: if you want to play with a brand new toy, then choose a desktop computer or don’t play on your laptop for days, let it cool down.

Prevention of heating problems or “What to do?”

To prevent problems that lead to the laptop becoming very hot, you should use it in a clean, ventilated area. Place the laptop on a flat, hard surface, so that between the bottom of the laptop and the surface on which it is located there is the space provided for by its design - this is the height of the very legs of the laptop that are located on its bottom. If you are used to keeping your laptop on your bed, carpet, or even your lap, this may cause it to heat up.

In addition, you should not cover a working laptop with a blanket (or anything else, including its keyboard - in most modern models, air is taken in for cooling through it) or allow a cat to bask near its ventilation system, do not feel sorry for the laptop - At least have pity on the cat.

In any case, preventative cleaning of the inside of the laptop should be done at least once a year, and even more often with intensive use, in unfavorable conditions.

Laptop Cooling Pads

A portable laptop cooling pad can be used for additional cooling. With its help, air is circulated with greater speed and intensity, and modern cooling stands also provide their owner with the opportunity to use additional USB ports. Some of them have a rechargeable battery itself, which can be used as a power source for the laptop in the event of a power outage.

The principle of operation of the fan stand is that there are quite large and powerful fans inside it that drive air through themselves and release it already cooled into the laptop cooling system, or, on the contrary, draw hot air out of your laptop with greater force. In order to make the right choice when purchasing a cooling pad, it is worth considering the direction of air movement in your laptop's cooling system. In addition, of course, the location of the blowing and blowing fan should be such that it is not the plastic case that is ventilated, but the inside of the laptop through the special ventilation holes provided for this purpose.

Replacing thermal paste

Thermal paste can be used as a preventive measure. To replace it, carefully remove the laptop cover, following the instructions for it, then remove the cooling system. Having done this, you will see a white, gray, yellow or, more rarely, a different color viscous mass similar to toothpaste; it should be carefully removed with a damp cloth, allow the insides to dry for at least 10 minutes, then apply new thermal paste in the same places, evenly and thin about 1 millimeter, using a special spatula or a simple blank piece of paper.

At the same time, it is important not to touch the surface on which the microchips are attached - this is the motherboard and their edges at the base. Thermal paste should be applied both to the cooling system and to the upper surface of the microchips in contact with it. This helps improve thermal conductivity between the cooling system and the microchips, which become very hot during operation. If, when replacing thermal paste, you found in place of the old one not a viscous substance, but a dried stone, then I congratulate you - you made it at the last moment. Dried thermal paste not only does not help, but even interferes with effective cooling.

Love your laptop and it will serve you faithfully until you decide to purchase a new one.
