Posted January 22, 2017 I have a HP ProBook 455 G1 with an amd a8-4500m cpu, 8gb ram and radeon hd 8750m gpu. I have the laptop for more than 2 years. At first it was great played a lot of games no problem. But now even smaller games can't really good and for some games it even overheats to the point of shut down, even for smaller games. I downloaded hw monitor and it shows these temps: Those are really really high temps, and I don't really believe those are correct, but I could even accept those temps as real looking at how my laptop is currently running. Even when browsing the web sometimes the fan go really loud, and they are always loud when doing some heavy tasks. Games are probably running like crap because the cpu is capped. And even on touch it gets really hot and sometimes I can't even touch the heatsink. I checked the insides and it's clean, barely any dust on the fan or anywhere else. And it's a pain to reinstall the os since without drivers it shuts down in 10 minutes, so it's hard to install drivers, and I even have a problem with drivers cause I need to install drivers for the discrete gpu but it doesn't allow me, saying I can't install that driver for my integrated gpu. Is there any fixes for this? Link to comment https://linustechtips.com/topic/726904-laptop-really-high-temps-desperate/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 22, 2017 That's literally impossible. If the temps were really that high your pc would automatically shut off. If you want, you could open up your laptop and get rid of the dust as well as perhaps replace the thermal paste, but that's up to you.

Posted January 22, 2017 This is why you don't game on non gaming laptops. It absolutely wrecks the thermal system in those kinds of laptops, which were not meant to be playing games or handle any intensive tasks like that whatsoever. That's how my kid destroyed his ultrabook. Link to comment https://linustechtips.com/topic/726904-laptop-really-high-temps-desperate/#findComment-9244103 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 22, 2017 Author This laptop isn't really meant for gaming, but still it has really good specs, for ex. before I could play team fortress 2 on max, now I barely do it on low settings, and remember that game uses the counter strike: source's engine.
