Well my brother had has his laptop for about a year now and there's been many weird problems with it.
It's a Dell Inspiron N411Z with an i5-2450m, 6gb of RAM, 750gb HDD, Integrated Intel HD 4000 graphics.
Here's the problems:
-Laptop sometime freezes. After a short while, it un-freezes.
-When using the laptop at school (he attends and lives at a university), he has no problem with wifi connection. However, here at home he will randomly disconnect and lose internet very frequently. No one else but him has wifi problems (we have 2 other laptops running wifi without any problems).
-The laptop runs really hot. I did a Prime95 test on it with Coretemp and it went as high as 98c on one core and 97c on the other (I ran that with a laptop cooler underneath it too so by itself it will overheat).
I ran Prime95 and memtest with no errors, so it's not the processor or RAM right?
I'm not really knowledgeable in the laptop area, I'm more of a desktop person but I do know about components and such. I feel like opening up the laptop itself but I want to wait on that for awhile.
If any further information is needed, feel free to ask! Thanks for the time to read this and assist me!
