Greetings,
Don't know where to post this but, I have an few years old (link)HP Compaq nx9420 Notebook PC.
Few months ago I upgraded to win7 and lately the machine has been shutting down
after overheating and the fan has been running wild for a while, sometimes the fan
go´s back to normal and sometimes everything runs just OK but I can feel how hot
the machine can be.
Sometimes this happen when I am reading news sites and the machine shuts down,
playing a video seems to be ok, the fan takes off but no problems.
Been trying to search online for a solution and my findings are either related to CPU
or BIOS.
I have not upgraded the BIOS and don't know how to do that or where to get the
right update. This is the BIOS version: 68yaf ver. F.1D
About two years ago while my machine was still covered by its warranty I got a new
fan and the cooling "pipe"! (first time something broke while still covered by the warranty!!)
Do I need to check the CPU or cooling components or upgrade the BIOS?
What would you recommend to do?
Thanks
Dennis
