Problem for Dell Inspiron B120 PC Notebook

Overheating laptop during normal use




By comguy on Jan 02, 2008

" "
When i use this laptop normally, it randomly shuts down and upon rebooting, it says it has overheated. This still happens even when it is on a flat surface without airflow obstuction. Even when using i8kfangui to force my fan to high speed at all times, the temp climbs and it eventually overheats. Otherwise the laptop works fine.

- Wow. Found the problem. There was a dust clump the size of a cockroach in blocking my heatsink's airflow.
