I have an ASUS M70vm laptop. It overheats like none other now. It's no longer under warranty. When you start it up, when it loads into windows, it goes into an infinidy "tab" mode between 3 accounts, password and swipe finger (finger print scanner that hates me). Only way to get it out of this is to close the lid and reopen it. And then repeat it when it loads as it will go into a constant "delete" mode as the first object it finds it will want to delete it until you close and reopen it.
When it overheats it goes into another infinity "tab" mode. Before you could close the lid, wait for it to beep that it sees you've closed the lid, reopen it and it will be ready for action. Another way to show that if it doesn't tab mode, is it will go into an infinity "backspace" mode when you put the cursor to the URL in an explorer, or try and write something in windows, i.e. notepad, it will start to backspace anything written.
I have a USB slot tapped over with an piece of electric tape as it got bent when i hit a guy with my keyboard attached to it... (he deserved it)... if i attempt to put anything into it, it will automatically turn my system off. From not having this USB slot, I lost the use of having my camera work. (not a big deal). I am also missing my F and tab Key on my laptop.
My laptop is my life. I don't use a desktop. I typically have 1 USB external HD, 1 USB wireless keyboard receiver, 1 USB mouse wireless receiver and 1 eSata HD. It rarely overheated as bad as it does now with only a mouse connected to it. It was attached via VGA to a desktop monitor for a long time, then it started to overheat galore when I started to use my TV as a screen.
laptop isn't under warranty and running windows vista home premium 32bit. 4 gigs of memory, duo core @ 2.26GH.
Any help would be appreciated! I have searched for an answer for a long time to help fix this issue and always come up empty.
