Well I have a Aspire 7730 laptop and for the past days the fan have bin making some louad noise and running more fast than they used to, Today the fans are running at 70c and it's still getting hotter.

What is wrong and is this to hot?

Help asap, stil getting hotter

paul rope · 20 Mar 2009 at 16:55

It's keep shutting down about ever 5mins

Obviously there's an overheating problem - how old is the machine? Can you give the vents a blast with an air-duster?

Check the CPU temps with coretemp.

paul rope · 20 Mar 2009 at 17:03

I have all ready cleaned it all.
aww got about 2 - 3 moths ago

beermonster · 20 Mar 2009 at 17:34

Is it actually blowing hot air or cold, if the latter then the heatsink is broke, did you clean and repaste the cpu core?

paul rope · 20 Mar 2009 at 17:36

None :S

It's just hot at the bottom.
Can't feel hot or cold air coming out

gsf600y · 20 Mar 2009 at 20:33

Are the fans actually spinning?
You should be able to feel some air coming out I'd have thought, unless the fans are not spinning.
If you boot into the BIOS, it should tell you the fan RPM speed in the POWER settings page I think?

paul rope · 20 Mar 2009 at 20:56

I just open the back off it and it's not spinning

Best you buy yourself a replacement fan then

If its been making a loud noise the last few days, it was probably because it was in the process of failing.

Oh my god!

Well my laptop is now running at about 74/77c

The fan is working again I don't know why it stopped, But the fan is keep going 24/7 when laptop is on.

As you can see in that I think my laptop is broke as it only showing 2 things when it use to show 2 more things 1 called HDD I think

Help please!

If you've only had for 2 - 3 months then why bother trying to fix it, just send it back and let them deal with it.

paul rope · 31 Mar 2009 at 11:29

Yes but I got all my files on here and don't want to lose them all

reflux · 31 Mar 2009 at 11:29

Back them up and send it off for RMA. There's likely nothing you can do.

paul rope · 31 Mar 2009 at 11:45

It will take way to long with how much I got on here.
I'll have to just leave it and hope nothing happens.

reflux · 31 Mar 2009 at 11:49

Lol, I can't believe you'd rather put up with a half-dead laptop than back some stuff up and get it fixed.

It will take you no more than an hour to back up 100GBs to an external hard disk. I doubt you have more than that.

paul rope · 31 Mar 2009 at 11:52

Don't have 1 -_-

I don't think I still got the box for this.

Laptop only bin on for about 10mins now and all ready at 60c

remove the hard drive before sending off then, I doubt they'd have a problem with that if you explained that you need to safeguard your data.

Only other option would be to take it into a local laptop repair place and pay them, possibly voiding your warranty in the process - your choice.

Thanks 1st 1 sounds like good idea.
What about the box tho as I don't think I've got it no more.

and

What do you guys think the reason it don't show the 'HDD' no more
