Hi,
I have a Dell Inspiron 2500 laptop, and have started to have some trouble with it.
When i boot into windows, it will boot up fine. But when using it for around 10 mins, it will either freeze, LCD turns off or lines go accross the screen. I thought it was an overheating problem becuase the northbridge chip was getting really hot. It didnt even have a heatsink on it. So i put a northbridge heatsink on it (still gets red hot). i have tried reseeting the motherboard and checking for shorts and even flashing the bios to the newest one. Also, once it has crashed, when i try to turn it back on again, nothing appears on the LCD. All what happens is that the power LED turns on.
Does anyone know what my problem is? I am a student so i dont have hardly no money to spend on it.
Thanks for all of your time![]()
