So I figured that my CPU temperature is the main problem for my latest drops in FPS
It got over 95degrees celcius when I was playing ET
I got a laptop so upgrading cooling isn't really easy
Though I used to get 80 degrees celcius max when playing ET, I'm wondering why I get 95 now, despite running the same or even less programs than I used to
I formatted 4 days ago so that can't be the problem
I tried different configs, all the same
I got all drivers set like they were before
I defragmented my harddisk
I don't have virusses either since I just used my old files (and if there was a virus in there I would've had the same problem on there wouldn't I ?)
So, I have to resort to crossfire for aid
Google is not really an option since it will give me a lot of random stuff of which maybe 1 out of a million might be able to help me lol
Flame on ^^
E: Kinda fixed after resetting bios
Most significant change made during reset was disabling 32bit IDE transfer mode
Apparently the harddisk's heat got transferred to CPU hence higher temp causing the entire system to overheat and slowdown
Loaded my oldest gfx
Forgot how good they looked yet fps is nice :O (better then wonder's) enemies are better visible :O

Also I don't have space at my current position for a laptop cooler :p
overheat.
I'll try anyway though
I resetted the settings though
Temp at 73 degrees celcius now though
Gonna see how much it goes up when I boot ET though
ET sometimes hangs a bit on startup, but that's it
Further I just get crap FPS ingame :(
then they disabled it.
GET PRO, NOOB
I don't really know how it works either, there comes a bit of hot air from the back but not really like with a PC
What is alternative cooling?
Software doesn't detect fans either way so :)
And opening it will break the guarentee D:
The thing you gotta do is put something underneath your laptop so your fan is clear from the desktop surface or anything around. Since I play with an external monitor and keyboard, I place it over a glass or over my cds support and its fine.
