    Hi,

    first sorry for my English I am from Slovakia but there nobody could give me a good advance so I try here.

    I have a laptop Acer Aspire 5536G for 1 year :
    processor : AMD Athlon 64 X2 QL64,
    RAM : 4096MB DDR2 800MHz (2x2GB),
    HDD : 500GB 5400rpm,
    display : 15.6" WXGA HD (1366 x 768) CrystalBrite,
    graphic card : ATI Radeon 4570 512MB,
    OS : Windows 7 x86

    When I want to play some better games like DragonAge, Just Cause II, Fallout III or Starcraft II, the temperature is very high and laptop just shut down.
    Sometimes it just happen when I am browsing at the internet.

    When I run HW Monitor it shows me temperatures nearly 100 C :mad: :mad:

    I tried to undervolt it with RMClock as here http://forum.notebookreview.com/har...arket-upgrades/235824-undervolting-guide.html but I don't have there an option Advanced CPU Settings so I can't do anything :( :(

    What can I do to decrease the temperatures in my laptop ?

    Please help me because I will throw that laptom out of my window.

    Thanks a lot ivo333

    you can try getting one of those laptop lap notebook coolers. other than that i suggest you try to open your laptop and put on some new thermal paste.

    or just get a whole new laptop. what is your FPS per game?

    Tear it apart, clean the heatsink throughly, re-apply NEW thermal compound, and that should have a pretty good effect. Although the AMD notebooks, especially from that time, were like spaceheaters anyway.
