My Laptop Overheating And Shutting Down By Itself by MrSurd: 8:10am On Apr 03, 2019
My laptop is overheating and getting hot and after some time, it will shutdown by itself, what could be the fault? And the system is also available for sale for just 27k hp compaq 9640 : Ram: 2gb, newly installed windows 8 pro with charger and working battery

If it shut down itself, then probably the cooling fan isn't working,.

There is no solution to the laptop it is as a result of using it on top of foam,rug, cushion,clothes instead of a hard surface so that the heat can expel out.

From experience there is no solution to the laptop it's cooked

It's too late
But if per chance or miracle it starts to function properly again then try and always use on hard surface so the heat can find a way out.

Get a technician to open and clean the laptop, especially the heat sink. If he is skilled, he could check the thermal paste between CPU chip and heat sink.

Probably the cooling fan isn't working the way it should. Except the ventilation pores are blocked with dust or something

Take it to a laptop technician for servicing, he should clean the fan, vent, and apply new coolant. This will likely solve your problem.

Fan running at high speed can also be cause by a corrupt ME region bios or bad thermal ic on the motherboard.
