    Hi. I have a problem from about month. When i restart my notebook and run it again it just think very long and restart. That happens until i ventilate my room.
    It happens often.

    Did anyone beside me have such problem with this notebook? What should i do with it. I readed at internet that GPU max is 80. Degree on core 80. So i used speedfan and results.
    GPU 67C. Core0 and Core 1 65C. HD0 36 C (also normal).
    So what do You sugest? Is it normal for this model?

    CPU temperatures of less than 70C should not cause problems. You can run HWmonitor for a second opinion. This shows the minimum and maximum temperatures as well as the current temperature.

    If you suspect overheating then perhaps the cooling system is clogged up. This is a particular risk if you use the computer on soft surfaces.

    Those temperatures are getting uncomfortably high. What were you doing?

    Is the cooling fan running very fast as the temperatures get hot and is it blowing out lots of hot air?

    You can follow the undervolting guide to reduce the CPU temperature (and I suspect that the GPU shares the same heatsink so that may cool down).

    How long have you had the notebook? If still within warranty then you may want to contackt Samsung support about the heat problem. If the warranty has expired then you will need to investigate its yourself. However, Samsung notebooks are usually not easy to dismantle.

    Well. Funniest thing is. That I.... were just surfing net for about 15m befor takeing screenshot.

    Cooling fan doesn't blow any hot air... maybe little, i don't feel it when i put hand near place of it. However it works. But from bottom notebook it's very hot. Even Touchpad get hot.

    I try Your link for undervolting. And answer if anything helped, or .. not. Thx.

    If the CPU is 80C+ and the fan isn't blowing very hot air then there's a problem with getting the heat away from the CPU. There are two possible causes (i) The heat sink doesn't have a good thermal connection with the CPU; or (ii) the cooling system is clogged up. See this thread for a good photo of a clogged cooling system.

    Investigating either problem is probably going to require dismantling your computer.

    Well now i have about 2 weeks free from school so i Tried undervolting.
    Normally it was 75+ - 84 Degree when doing nothing. As i did, it was 65 -70. I though ,,WOW". But after running game it started to slow down.. more.. and more. At the end it looked like OS was down. I wanted to see what's with temperature with RM clock. I saw only 100% procesor ... error. And it turned off. I was fighting with it about 3 hours. And resoult. Nothing.

    At least I saw that when i put something under Nootebok it work again after 1-2 min. It's very hot from bottom, so it helped. But i can use it that way.

    I can't check cooling system because i still have it under warranty.
    Maybe you heard about any problems with this model? I readed that in my country some people gived it to service. Recived back with ,,Repaired-fine". But the problem appeard again.

    Have you maybe other idea before i will have to give it on warranty?
    ANd what do You think about ,, Cooling Pad". If service won't help, and they won't do anything. I will have to do something.

    A cooling pad should help, but doesn't address the fundamental problem. I would get the computer serviced while it is still under warranty.
