So this started yesterday. Usually, when i'm surfin the internet, listening to music, etc. My laptop runs normally, but now. The second I open up a second program, my laptop goes apeshit and this happens. [img]http://gyazo.com/3ef96294388fdffa965cb5354e373978.png[/img] Any help? I don't usually get this besides when I play games.
Check for dust. How old is this laptop?
A year old.
I assume you're not a dumbass who sits it on your bed or another place with no ventilation?
I have a desk.
Get SpeedFan, and check that your fans are running 100% when you're playing games or whatnot.
Control alt delete, check the system cpu usage, could possibly have a virus that's making it work full load, and when you open a program it's screwing it. It's a long shot, but might as well look.
Is it bad that my CPU is running at 50%? I'm not all good with computers.
is that with nothing running? If that's at idle yeah it's fairly high. i'm assuming you're on a dual core processor, go to processes under task manager and click the cpu button and screen shot.
