Dell inspiron N4110 performance problem

Shockwave_95 · Nov 5, 2014

HI I have a dell inspiron N4110 (changeable back cover) the laptop's hdd seems to be heating up and the USB 3.0 is not working correctly. if i am using the laptop only for browsing or just doing my work it will heat up, but if i play games the H.D.D will heat up more. (games run from my external hard drive) pls help

Have you cleaned out the insides lately? Could be a heat problem caused by poor cooling, although I've never known HDDs to get particularly hot.

Are you keeping the laptop on a flat, hard surface? Using laptops on a bed or your lap can lead to the vents being blocked from taking air in to cool the laptop off properly.

Also, if it has been used for awhile, the exhaust vents and the fans can become dirty. It may need an air compressor taken to it if that's the case.

You didn't mention how hot the HDD is getting. Have you used a utility to monitor the temperature of it?

55 degress

I think 55 is safe. A little high, but not dangerous. Try running a utility that reports your drive's SMART status. If the health has degraded, you should consider replacing the drive.

As for your USB 3.0 problem, that could be either the driver or the physical port.
