hi guys. my laptop is really really hot



- laptop model: HP Pavilion DV3
- Age: 1 year 2months
- in aircond room (24^C)
- no programs run except mozilla firefox (7tabs) and msn messenger (3 conversations)
- using a normal rm30 laptop cooler

why is it so hot even though the cpu usage is below 50?

anyway to reduce the heat to acceptable levels?

thanks all.

i reached 97^C after running orthos for 6minutes. the fan got really loud then i stopped it

yeah..my comp has auto shutdown on me on alot of occasions. any way to reduce the heat?

thanks for all your advice guys

is there any other way to clean the heatsink besides unscrewing it? im afraid i might damage some components inside when unscrewing.

i've asked some computer shops to help me clean it but they said they do not offer this service and i have to go to the HP service center to do it
is there a computer shop willing to do it for a fee? if yes how much does it cost roughly?

ok thanks alot bro
i will try unscrewing it later
will feedback after im done =D
