SAND33P Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Possible implementation? Id find it useful being able to have some power available while having something rendering on a big canvas, and to stop my laptop overheating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drydareelin Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 (edited) Try this: 1. Open msconfig by pressing "Start + R" and typing msconfig. 2. Click on the Boot tab, and press Advanced Options. 3. Check the Maximum Memory box and state how much MB of installed memory you want to use. Press OK. 4. Check the Make all boot settings permanent box. Press OK. This one seems to depend on what windows version you're using. 5. Click on Yes then restart. Should work. Edit by Rick: This is terrible advice, as it will reduce the amount of memory available for the entire system. Do not do this.

Sounds like you have dust bunnies in your processors fan system. I'd use a can of air from an office supply store, position it at least 5 inches from the vents and blow it out. You'll see lots of dust bunnies fly out. Your laptop should stop overheating. Do Not us an automotive air compressor!!! High pressure can damage the fan. Do not blow into it with our mouth (saliva may come out). Edited June 19, 2014 by TechnoRobbo 1 Quote Go out there and be amazing.

Drydareelin Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Adding to TechnoRobbo's comment, I also use a Laptop Cooler when working with big projects or video editing. Really does help. I use this one: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B003LLADCA/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Quote Gallery DeviantArt Planet Tutorial | Sun Tutorial Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbieq25 Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 TR, very good advice. Yes, air compressors do bust the fans As one techie found out... I use a little plastic ramp on my laptop. It gets air circulating but because there is nothing plugged in as with some coolers, it doesn't load the laptop down.

Don't forget that smoke in the air is being force-fed to your system via the cooling fan. http://www.squidoo.com/cigarette-smoke-computer-damage Quote ebook: Mastering Paint.NET | resources: Plugin Index | Stereogram Tut | proud supporter of Codelab plugins: EER's Plugin Pack | Planetoid | StickMan | WhichSymbol+ | Dr Scott's Markup Renderer | CSV Filetype | dwarf horde plugins: Plugin Browser | ShapeMaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
