Had some issues with my laptop. strange because it was alright on Saturday.
I had my laptop cleaned out, it was a little dusty!! Check the attachments.
Obviously it had been running a bit hot with the help of a tower fans and SpeedFan it was just coping.
After I got it cleaned it was running well without the tower fan, so afterwards I decided to clean up the software and removed SpeedFan as I thought it would no longer be needed. I used Logitech ARX on my iPad to monitor the temps. The CPU was running in the 50s but the graphics card started to heat up and went into the 90s and the laptop shut down during the first race. I moved the tower fan back into place and joined the 22nd race after it cooled down. After a while the GPU temps started going through the roof again, and I decided to leave the race before the laptop shut down again.
The only difference between the first test and the fun race was the removal of the monitoring software. I put it back on and Ran rF2 in an offline race. I started a race and let the AI drive my car and left it running for a few hours. After a little while the temp got up to 79c, I then turned the laptops fan on and the temp settled down to 72/3c. So it seems to have cured the problem.
I'll check it out tomorrow night. Hopefully the tower fan can be saved for the summer heat wave.
