Hi, I recently acquired a HP Probook 4270s. It's running Windows 7 Professional 64 bit and Intel® Core™ i5-460M Processor.
A few days ago the laptop just shut off by itself. It was very hot to the touch. The fan appears to be blowing out very hot air. So, I took the laptop apart, blew out the dust and made sure the fan was spinning. Everything seemed to be in working order. I've also reduced my Processor Power Management settings.
Still being worried the laptop might shut down again.. I downloaded a few programs to monitor the temperature. This is where I have the question...
Under Max temperature for one of my cores is 70°C. But for the minimum temperature 61°C. My average temperature ranges about 65°C or so. Now is this running hot or is this running cool? There is only a 9 degrees difference in it being the minimum temperature it should be and the max. So it's really hard for me to gauge...
It's the same for my second core as well. It shows the max temperature is 72°C and the minimum is 65°C.
What worries me is, for some reason this HP Probook doesn't appear to have any intake vents. The bottom is completely solid. And I don't see any vents located anywhere else. The only "opening" is what I believe is called the exhaust.. where the hot air is blowing out. So I'm not even sure how it keeps cool at all.
I will buy a new fan for it if I need it. I don't believe I can get a cooling pad because there doesnt appear to be any vents. I've considered drilling holes in the bottom if need be.. And to top it off, I'm not even sure if it's running hot at all anymore after cleaning it because the difference between 61°C and 70°C max is so slight. I'd appreciate any help!
