Hi Everyone.
I bought an Optimus V laptop from PCS about 3 months and since purchasing have been having issues with constant blue screens. I have been trying a number of things such as reinstalling the os, reinstalling the graphics card drivers, running memory tests and running hard drive tests.
The tests came back with no issues and to this day I am still having problems.
I decided therefore to run some tests which would see if the laptop was getting too hot. I wondered if this was the case earlier so upon speaking to someone at PCS I bought a cooling stand to see if it would make a difference.
Upon playing World of Warcraft tonight for around an hour or so I came out of game for a few minutes and opened MSI afterburner to check the temperatures. It recorded a whopping 97 degrees Celsius on the GPU. Call me crazy but that sounds far too hot and I am scared that I will fry my laptop within the next few months. I am also getting large readings at times from the CPU at around 88 degrees Celsius when gaming.
To me those temperatures shouldn't be getting produced and I am starting to feel like the laptop was advertised and built for something it was never capable of doing.
If anyone could share any thoughts it would be greatly appreciated.
Here are the specs:
Chassis & Display Optimus Series: 13.3" Matte Full HD LED IPS Widescreen (1920x1080)
Processor (CPU) Intel® Core™i7 Quad Core Mobile Processor i7-4700MQ (2.40GHz) 6MB
Memory (RAM) 8GB SAMSUNG 1600MHz SODIMM DDR3 MEMORY (1 x 8GB)
Graphics Card NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 765M - 2.0GB DDR5 Video RAM - DirectX® 11
Memory - Hard Disk 240GB KINGSTON V300 SSD, SATA 6 Gb (450MB/R, 450MB/W)
Battery 13.3" Optimus Series 6 Cell Lithium Ion Battery (62.16WH)
Operating System Genuine Windows 7 Professional 64 Bit w/SP1 - inc DVD & Licence
Thanks,
Jamie
