I think your CPU is too hot by all indications. Is this what you want to discuss?

If it is then check it with a Craftsman's IR non contact laser to verify the temps.

or you can use a meat temperature probe if nothing else is available.

Anything over 65C is critical. My AMDs never get above 50C on full loads.

My CPU temp on my laptop is 40C. I had it once freezeup on me when I downloaded SP2 a while back and it ran at 100% load.

My computer shutdown was at 65C. There are boundaries that can't be passed and all I have to say is something's definitely wrong.

I'd say bad heatsink contact. Is the laptop under warranty? Get it fixed! If it isn't, take it apart and reseat the heatsink.

Do you have the Cool N' Quiet, or whatever they call it on laptops, enabled? Just noticed that the processor is always running at full speed. That could be a factor in your higher amount of heat being produced.

Have a tech or your friendly computer repair guy look at it before it burns out. Stop using the laptop, turn it off before it dies.

I have a feeling your temperature indicating software/sensor is messed up. At thos temps, the laptop should shut down automatically. Is the fan running all the time?

The fan is running,and the shut down temp is 95C it never hit that so.... I don't want to try. And the laptop air coming out is too hot to leave you hand there

well I called and I am getting a new heatsink, then if I am still having the problem I guess I going to have to send the laptop with all the parts in it. So they can find out wtf with up with my laptop
