Seem my gaming laptop is overheating.
I had a problem with it freezing after about 5 to 10 minutes when playing games. I dusted the intake and fans and it now runs maybe 30 mins before freezing....
I thought of maybe changing the fans.... but I have no idea of wich would fit. I haven't fiddled too much around with the innards of a laptop before, and my general impression is laptops are not that modable.....

It is a Vega+ if that means anything to anybody out there. I have it on a laptop stand... a stand that lifts it a bit so airintake is better and supplied with three fans blowing from below... But I suspect I need better cooling inside....

If any are up to the task I might take som e pics of the fans and other cooling, wich to my limited knowledge looks like a heatpipe....
 
I run an external keyboard.... The dust thing sounds pretty plausible... Maybe I should just unscrew all the gut and dust it..... For the first 6 months or more I had no problem with the games freezing... Maybe it there is just too much dust inside.
Well, a project for tomorrow maybe... or maybe for next month when I get a desktop. Just to have a backup if everything gets screwed up..

P.S the comp is beyond RMA
 
I opened up the lappie and took out the fan.. And I saw quite abit of dust in the cooling grille/radiator from the heatpipe..... Cleaning that up seem to have done it. I have run crashfree since then :D
