Have Averatec 6210X60 Laptop with AMD Processor. Out of warranty. Processor is working 100% majority of time while overheating. What are my options of replacing processor and how much? Much appreciated.

The Averatec 6200 laptop was released in 2004 and is powered by an AMD Athlon XP-M 2400+ processor with a clock speed of 1.8 GHz . The motherboard of the Averatec 6200 is based on the SiS741 chipset. The laptop comes with 512 MB of RAM and a 60 GB hard drive . The laptop's display is a 15.4 inch, 1280 x 800 (WXGA) screen.

As for the processor upgrade, the Averatec 6200 is compatible with processors that support SSE2 2. SSE2 is an extension of the IA-32 architecture, based on the x86 instruction set. Therefore, only x86 processors can include SSE2. The AMD64 architecture supports the IA-32 as a compatibility mode and includes the SSE2 in its specification. This means virtually every modern Intel and AMD CPU supports SSE.

What exactly is wrong with the CPU? Typically CPUs don't actually stop working.

Hi,

Processor Type 754-pin (uPGA); 638-pin (uPGA)*

Support Processor

AMD Turion™ 64 X2 Dual Core

Processor,

AMD Turion™ 64 Processor

(25/35W series),

Mobile AMD
Sempron™ (25W series)

Those are the ones that your laptop supports

Either your PROCESSOR is overheating or ur BATTERY is busted!

My guess is that the fans inside the computer have stopped working, thus leading to the overheating. AMD processors generally run "hot" (50 to 60 degrees Celsius) even with proper fans.

Take your computer to a qualified technician, for a cleaning, and proper trouble-shooting, and repair, before the overheating causes permanent damage.

I believe normal temperatures range from 41 to 95. At least from this laptop that is running a dual processor:

Also somebody else here had the same type of question:

From my experience as long as its not running over 100 then you'll be fine. If you have any doubts about your computer overheating you can always apply more compound to the heatsink and also buy a bigger one where the fan runs faster to keep things cooler inside of the case and always remember to have the side doors on as well.

Sounds like the Processor may be overheating. Do you have to press the power button twice to get it to reboot? Make sure that the vents are not being blocked by anything and that dust isn't coating the fan blades. You can use a flashlight to inspect without opening it.

you have a hardware error.. the message is your processor indicating some hardware component went booboo on you!

the cause could come from any major component (motherboard, memory, processor, bus, other hardware)

To upgrade your system with AMD 3000+ sempron processor is a little bit difficult. AMD 3000+ requires a new motherboard that may not be compatible with your laptop. So I suggest you to get your laptop exchanged with a new one with the above.
