CPU Overheating?

by dragonrider69 . Updated 15 years, 5 months ago

Hello, I seem to be having an issue with a Gateway laptop. The core temperature of the CPU is 75C this is extremely hot. I happen to notice when the power settings are set lower, of course to extend battery life that the temperature drops. Of course, this is also due to the decrease in performance from the CPU. However, I cannot seem to figure out why while in High Performance mode this thing gets so hot I could cook a pancake on it. Fan seems to be working, because I can hear it, and I have attempted to **** out the vents. It is an AMD turion CPU dual core of course. Therefore, any ideas would be great thanks.
