So at the moment I have a Dell Inspirion 1525, I have had it for 3 years and 11 months and just lately it is getting VERY hot. I using core temp at the time. I was extracting a large (8.5GB) rar file with WinRar and the temprature was near to 100, could not beleave it, I gave it a minute to see if it would call back down but it wouldnt. The computer shut its self off when it got to 37 percent.
I thought there might of been a fault with the rar file so I copyed it to an external HD and copyed it to my computer. When I extracted it on my computer, nothing happend to the temprature.
Im not sure what temprature my laptop should be getting to, but im sure its not ment to get as high as it will turn itsself off.
Its a dual core pentium processor on windows 7 professioal. It could be the hard drive as it has a 7200RPM one in.
If any of you can give me ANY help at all it will be greatly appreciated.
Feal free to ask for any more detaisl
