presario cq50-100em overheating?!
Morning,
I have a presario cq50-100em and I think that it is overheating, which is causing it to keep shutting down.
When I power the laptop on its temperatures are: GPU = 65c and CORE = 65c.
After about 20 mins the temps are: GPU = 120c and CORE = 115c....the PC then switches off.
Any ideas?! Any solutions?
Thanks!!

I would go for the vents and chip, if your happy with cracking the laptop if not you would expect to pay around £80 for somone to do it. Could be cheaper but that's what we charge.
You have far more than just a vent problem.
It sounds like your heat-sink has shifted or loosened.

If you feel comfortable going inside the machine there is a step-by-step guide to diassembly here:

Unfortunately the nature of laptop systemboards is you will have to remove pretty much everything to get at the CPU fan and heatsink
(See p80 in the manual) however if you are methodical about it and careful avoiding static damage it is actually quite straightforward.
You can also hand it over to people who do this on a regular basis but the main cost is for the time taken to get at it - I guess you are looking at about an hour and a dollar's worth of thermal paste (!)
