Throbert Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 my ASUS lap goes in to thermal shutdown after so many minutes on an open internet site. What if I remote into a PC with no heat issues and use its internet browser?

DevonB Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 You could try it. But you'd be better off fixing the thermal problem. Check the fan, the fan ducting to make sure it's not full of dust and make sure the heat sink is still on. If the heat sink is still on, redo the thermal grease on the CPU. Also make sure the vents on the side are clear of any obstruction. Like don't set your laptop on thick carpet on the ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking this might be the least expensive option for me since I have a PC laying around here doing nothing.

DevonB Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Ya, it can be processor dependent. Some just happen to run hotter than others even within the same family and type. Sure, absolutely see if RDP runs with less CPU usage and use your laptop as a terminal. I've done that for my wife's laptop so she could have full access to her desktop no matter where she was sitting in the house or where her desktop was. This wasn't for thermal reasons but for convenience reasons. Works great. Devon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Throbert Posted October 15, 2019 Author Share Posted October 15, 2019 I'll eventually pull out the old beast, fire it up and see if it can handle an install of 10. It has XP 64 in it now Quote Triton Extreme 76, Kawai ES3, GEM-RPX, HX3/Drawbar control, MSI Z97 MPower/4790K, Lynx Aurora 8/MADI/AES16e, OP-X PRO, Ptec, Komplete.

DevonB Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 XP? Probably not. That laptop is what? 15? 20 years old? There is a checker to see if Windows 10 can run on it though. Give it a shot. Devon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Throbert Posted October 15, 2019 Author Share Posted October 15, 2019 I bought the G60jx lap in 2008 so it's 11, 12 years old, it didn't have any problems with 10 accept for the stupid stuff MS does, but then I installed 10 Enterprise 2016 LTSB and had even less problems with it. the old beast has an ASUS Maximus Extreme from back in 2004 or 5 but it can do 64 bit so I think it will be alright Quote Triton Extreme 76, Kawai ES3, GEM-RPX, HX3/Drawbar control, MSI Z97 MPower/4790K, Lynx Aurora 8/MADI/AES16e, OP-X PRO, Ptec, Komplete.

Throbert Posted October 26, 2019 Author Share Posted October 26, 2019 I've been noticing that in the evenings, 7:30 on MDT and on the weekends I don't get hardly any thermal issues makes me think it's more about activity causing my security to load down my system and heat it up.

Throbert Posted December 15, 2019 Author Share Posted December 15, 2019 So I loaded and ran GPU and a CPU thermal monitor apps I found online and it's My GPU that's causing the problem, GPU can climb in to the 90's C while the CPU is in the 70's and since they both use the same cooler I figure the CPU is getting some of the heat as well. Makes me wonder if a remote setup will help that much now. going to have to try redoing the thermal compound maybe add some little heatsyncs.

DevonB Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 I wouldn't doubt the thermal paste has dried up and needs to be re-applied with fresh paste.Not having a good 'seating' can dramatically change the temps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Throbert Posted January 6, 2020 Author Share Posted January 6, 2020 Disabled the NVIDIA driver and running on the MS basic display driver. Thermal issues are gone! I lost my sleep options so I have to use hibernate but at least I'm not cooking steaks on it any more. used an app to uninstall the driver, so to hell with that. other than that all is working fine.

DevonB Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Fantastic, glad to hear. Still means something is wrong as it shouldn't be overheating, but for what you want it for, it doesn't matter, and it'll give you more legs for making the laptop last for now.

Throbert Posted January 11, 2020 Author Share Posted January 11, 2020 It's still the same GPU so it's a driver issue not a hardware issue. A lot of others with the same problems, from my searches, even with newer gear and Nvidia just ignores the problem. I only want integrated when ever I buy new next time, enough with this crap.

DevonB Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 I'd say it's a design issue or whatever heatsink is on the video card has come loose. The video card that CAME WITH THE LAPTOP should not thermal down a laptop, period. Sure, it's possible that a driver is in a runaway loop and pushes an overheat, it's possible. I doubt that's it though. You could try the raw nVidia drivers out there too if you like. Fortunately, many CPU's come with on chip video chips now. At any rate, I've had a few laptops with nVidia chips that work just fine and do not overheat. Devon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Throbert Posted February 17, 2020 Author Share Posted February 17, 2020 Oh, I found my thread, Ok I was recommended a GPU OC App, MIS Afterburner, that can Underclock. Gave it a shot and I'm now able to use the Nvidia driver again, only to get the resolution I want and get my sleep option back. So for anyone in my situation you might want to give MIS a look at.

Dr Mike Metlay Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 This is always an interesting issue, especially for laptops that can be hard to work on. Over the years, it's become trickier to get good sensor data from Macs, to the point where the maker of Hardware Monitor (a really great little app) finally chose to deprecate it a few years ago. I am currently using iStat Menus and am pretty happy with it, but I would love to know why Macs Fan Control has suddenly stopped working and refuses to launch on any of my machines...
