I'm having problems with my laptop and I don't know what it is. For sure I know that is heat problems, the thing is that I don't know how can I solve it.
First the thing is that every time that I'm playing a game like League of Legends for example most of the times the screen goes black, the game and system keeps running for a while and then crashes the whole system but the computer keeps running (The fans and everything) until I do a hard reset.
The computer starts to get hot in the fan and the battery areas when I use it for anything not game related and gets a little slow sometimes. So I've been monitoring the temperature of my computer and it stays from 65 °C to 75 °C being the limit 84 °C according to RealTemp. Being 75°C when I'm using only Google Chrome to watch videos and using Facebook, being that too hot for only one program.

I feel that it's most likely an overheating problem but I don't know if it's coming from the fans not working properly (They are really loud) or even if the battery can be generating some heat (It shows this message : HP Battery Alert
The system has detected the storage capacity of the battery stated below to be very low.
For optimal performance, this battery may need to be replaced.
Primary (internal) Battery (601)
ENTER - Continue Startup
For more information, please visit: www.hp.com\go\techcenter\startup on startup" So i don't know if the heat can be caused because a faulty battery).

One thing last thing is that every time that play any game I use the program "Throttle Stop" because the games get really slow every 15 minutes. I don't know if my irresponsible usage of it can have caused any damage or something or if the problem is because of the heat.

I need to know what can solve the problem. If removing the Battery and use it plugged in, or cleaning the fans and replacing the thermal paste of the CPU to make it work better or if it's a lost cause at this point.

Oh yeah, my System Specs are:
OS: Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bits
CPU: 2nd Gen Core i3 2310M 2.10 GHz
GPU: Dedicated Intel HD3000
RAM: 3 Gb
HDD: 500GB

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
 
Hi,

Here are some troubleshooting steps that may help.
- Start by doing a clean install of the graphics card driver.
- Go to Device Manager and uninstall the Intel graphics driver.
- Next is to open Programs and Features then uninstall anything related to Intel graphics.
- Once done, download and install the latest driver.
- Here's the link: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/downloads/eula/24971/Intel-HD-Graphics-Driver-for-Windows-7-8-64-bit?httpDown=https%3A%2F%2Fdownloadmirror.intel.com%2F24971%2Fa08%2Fwin64_152824.exe
- Reboot the laptop once the latest driver has been installed.
- If the same problem will persist, do clean the inside of the laptop.
- Remove the dust off the cooling fans using compressed air, then apply new thermal paste on the CPU and GPU.

Hopefully this will help. :)
