Got given the laptop and was told that its very slow. I said i'd have it with the intention of repairing it and using it.
However soon after I switch it on both cooling fans in run at full speed and the output from the rear exhausts is very hot and smelly. Anyways even though it was running like this I managed to install a fresh copy of XP and a few aplications.
I removed the heatsink cleaned it and re-applied the TIM but it still overheats. And this is when the system is idling at 0%!
Any ideas on this greatly appreciated.
