System specifications? When did you start noticing the issues? Startup repair is usually meant to fix problems preventing you from booting into Windows. From what you've said, the problem might have something to do with corrupted system files. Try sfc /scannow from an elevated command prompt. Examine startup items too from the startup section of Task Manager or msconfig, depending on your OS version. Again, state your system specs. Mintayo: |

Hello everyone. Good evening. A few days ago i posted this issue [quote post=41424417]Hello guys, pls what could be responsible for excessive oooooovverheating of a laptop, at the bottom left corner ![]() I still don't know what is causing this or what to do. I've checked the vents, no blockage. Hot air is what blows when it is working. The heat can burn somebody. Now i'm scared cos i don't want it to damage the laptop board. Where can I get a good engineer to check it out, What could be wrong with it and how much will this likely cost? Its an intel core-i5 please. I will appreciate urgent response. Thanks ![]() |

Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by BetaTechnicians: 9:31am On Jan 08, 2016 |
Mintayo: He means it's possible your startup is clogged up with unnecessary programs, does it only slow down during start up or it happens during operations? what happened prior to when it started? did you install any software or any update close to that period? |
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by BetaTechnicians: 9:32am On Jan 08, 2016 |
Nazacent: whats the PC details? brand, model? |

Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by shawlxAk(m): 5:30pm On Jan 08, 2016 |
Ok then, perform system restore to an earlier date. Power on the system and immediately press f8 to access Advanced boot options. Select 'Repair your computer,' and follow the prompts to perform system restore. Mintayo: |
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by shawlxAk(m): 5:54pm On Jan 08, 2016 |
You should have tested the computer yourself with another charger first, before deciding to take it to an engineer. Most times, it's just a case of a burned charger. Who knows what the engineer has done to your laptop now! smoothicon: |
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by shawlxAk(m): 6:32pm On Jan 08, 2016 |
Clarify your answer. "Both battery powered and AC powered" could mean, with both the battery and charger connected. Have you tested with only the battery connected? And with only the charger connected? Two different scenarios. Onosas: |
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by shawlxAk(m): 6:39pm On Jan 08, 2016 |
Are you sure that you got the appropriate charger? Try a hard reset. Disconnect the charger, battery and any connected peripherals. Press and hold the power button for about 30 secs. Reinstall the battery, power on the system and immediately press the appropriate key to get into BIOS setup. In the BIOS setup, navigate to the exit tab and restore setup defaults. Souljeezy: |

If there's a fan, then it's possibly broken or not working efficiently. The problem could also be, poor CPU-Heatsink thermal conduction. Yes, you do need to see an engineer. wunderkiind: |
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by Mintayo(m): 7:21pm On Jan 08, 2016 |
shawlxAk:Okay. Thanks, I will do that tonight. Do I need to carry out any window updates after this. I realized it's been a while I did that. |
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by shawlxAk(m): 7:37pm On Jan 08, 2016 |
Only if you want to. Before you do, manually create a restore point. You can find a comprehensive guide on my website, if you need assistance with that. Mintayo: |
