I think my laptop froze...

Sitting here working on some pics and my dang laptop was getting extremely hot, so...

It's now cooled and working properly again!

That is all

is your fan working or maybe just clogged a bit?

Mine crapped out last year and I took it to a shop. They said the mother board was fried and it would be $400 to fix it. No way. I can get a new basic one for that so it's just been laying around since about July of last year.

A month ago I decided to see if it would come on so I plugged it in and hit the button and it has been working fine ever since. It needs a battery now but other than that it is working as well as it ever did. I guess it wanted a break. I would hate to spend $100+ for a new battery and it die again though.

Those Intel dual-core HT processors run HOT! My newer (2006) laptop is a lap warmer, and it's had a fix downloaded from Intel to speed up the fans. I don't think I want another one in a laptop.

My current Sony desktop has the same processor and frequently the fans run up until it sounds like an F16.

I think if I ever get another laptop it will have a freon cooling system in it. Do they make them like that?

I'm just glad you found a use for that Miller Lite. Because it's certainly no good as beer.

Maybe you should patent that idea before someone else does.

They do make a cooling pad for laptops.

It's probably already in the works:D

I have seen freon and water cpu coolers for desktops. Nuclear powered laptops must

be next. I wonder how they will cool them?

I ran my laptop with an ice pack under it a few times. It would thaw the ice pack pretty quickly.

Just buy a Mac.

See below post.

I guess it was just overworked.

Had to put my beer down to take the pic, duh.

Just submerge it in mineral oil.

Did the subject matter of the pics cause the overheating problem?

That's just freaking cool!

One day, when I grow up and get some money I could throw away, I'm building one of those! Seriously!
