K so I'm starting to get worried if I am ruining my laptop or not. I have a Gateway FX p-7805u and game pretty heavily on it. Currently I'm playing Battlefield: Bad Company 2 and although I have to play on low settings I really haven't had any problems with the game (been playing since the beta.)
But as of late, my fps will drop drastically(like 5-10 fps) for approximately 2-3 minutes, then return to back normal framerate (which is about 50 fps), and this drop in fps happens about every 20 minutes, and it's starting to get EXTREMELY annoying, especially when I'm in the middle of battle and am forced to sit in one spot for 3 minutes until I have a playable framerate again.
I recently started monitoring my system temperatures and have come up with some alarming information. Earlier tonight I started my Hardware monitoring program after I turned my computer on, then proceeded to play BF:BC2 for about an hour, and these are my current temp stats.
Current Min Max
ACPI(?) - TZS0 58C 47C 98C!!!!
TZS1 58C 47C 95C
Core 2 Duo P8400
-Core 1 44C 32C 85C
-Core 2 44C 34C 85C
Nvidia 9800m GTS
-GPU Core 47C 40C 93C
Hard Drive
-Assembly 52C 30C 61C
Min was what my laptop was idling at when I first turned it on, and Max was while I was playing BF:BC2.
Am I crippling the components inside my computer by letting them get this hot?
There isn't much I can think of to cool it down, the laptop has exceptional air flow around it and underneath it(I have it raised up at all times so there is about an inch of space underneath), maybe there is some dust built up inside or something. Do you guys have any suggestions on how I could cool this puppy down? This just doesn't seem safe.
I'd really appreciate the help!
