Overheating Toshiba A105 notebook
Well, it still has a case. Where else would you put a cooling question?
Long and short is my daughters A105 (CoreDuo) has started over heating. The first three or four months it was fine. She was even folding with it.
Then it would shut down. She set CPU usage down to 70% and made sure that the screen was up and that worked for a while.
Recently it has shut down even doing less demanding tasks. Alas, no folding.
Is there an easy way to see if the fans are running correctly?
As soon as I lay my hands on it this week it will get an air enema.
Any other thoughts??
It is a nice notebook. I can't wait to install the winSMP folding on it.

As I recall this one doesn't have a door that accesses the cooling stuff. I'll try air before I take twenty screws out.
