what processes did you close?
did you uninstall them as well?
or just close whenever you start your laptop?

I'm not using 4820TG if you want the specific list of uninstalled program for it...
Basically I uninstall what I can uninstall and disable the rest..
No need to close anything when I start the laptop..

How can I know what's safe to uninstall and what not?

Google it or ask here?

this lappie cpu i5 460 is really2 hot when playing games...my proc temp reaches 99c when playing black ops for few hours. ur hands on the keyboard also can feel very2 warm. im satisfied with the performance but the temps is killing the lappie...hope it will not fried 1 day.

99c is high... i recommend you use a laptop cooler in this case. although the CPU can handle up to 105, it might not be a good idea to let it continue in 90'es for a long time...

if you are using a cooler and it still hit 90'es, i recommend that you re-apply thermal parse on your CPU, a lot of people get very good result doing that, some even up to 10C lower...

i dont have Black-ops yet... but so far, no game make my CPU go more than 89C... i m not using cooler...

Icon utility?What is that?Should I just uninstall it?Or disable from startup?

Any more specific details? like the .exe or the path ?

C:\Program Files (x86)\AmIcoSingLun\AmIcoSinglun64.exe

I found the exe's information here

Seems like for card reader, best if just disabled it from startup...
If later got error with card reader, then enable it again...

Not sure if this will help, but check out list of startup programs I disable here for my 3820tg.

i am using a CM laptop cooler but still got high temp...i wanted to do repaste but it will void the warranty rite?

^Yup, technically..

hurmmm...when do repaste, is there any void sticker at the screw? if not then i can try do the repaste...

Just sticker on the CPU if not mistaken..

Opening notebook is a very delegate thing, you need to do it carefully. You dont want your beautiful notebook has scratch here and there...

Look at this PDF first, it's a step by step photo on how to change processor for 3820tg.

About applying thermal parse, I recommend take a look at what Bronsky has done with his 3820tg using IC Diamond 7... still a bit hard to believe.. his CPU idle tem is 21C...

yup ive done repaste on my previous G73JH which is the hardest laptop to dissamble from my experiences.
for sure will do it very carefully...just i wanted to know is there any small sticker at the screw of the cpu heatsink like my G73 has. coz if seal is broken then there goes ur warranty

yup i heard many lappie user repaste with IC diamond 7 but i cant find it in kl...any idea where to get it?

WOW! you have done it before, great!

i m still reluctant to open up my 3820tg.. i am good in dissembling hardware, but not very good in putting it back

i only found Artic MX 5 in Lowyat (Sri...)

hope to hear good news from you about reapplying thermal parse...

i oso quite confused on this matter as sm1 mentioned on previous post dat it will not void if upgrade ram/hdd. i did asked d retailer wer i bought my lil brader machine & was told dat it will only void d ram & hdd warranty. however, i took d liberty to call acer highpoint today to clarify on this & was informed dat it will void d warranty 4 d whole machine dang! i've upgraded my lil brader 3820tg to 8gb ram & 500gb momentus XT .
did sm1 here actually hv a machine wt upgraded ram/hdd sent for RMA & acer highpoint didnt void d warranty?

i added 2GB ram to my laptop and sent it for keyboard warranty claim at high point (lowyat plaza). i asked the person servicing my laptop if i'm still eligible for warranty claim, since i upgraded my ram, and he said no problem.

so there, for those of you still afraid to upgrade your ram (because of the acer sticker at the back) - do it.
