Guild Wars 2

My computer has been completely powering down very sporadically since culling was removed. After some tips from guildies i checked and the numbers are in….

Gw2 avg cpu usage 35%….cpu temps shoot up to 77 degrees Celsius maxed at 82 within 5 mins of being logged on. (shuts down at 100) my computer is programmed from the factory to auto overclock.

Asus g73 jh, professionally cleaned in the last 6 months.

Any help appreciated.

If ur CPU is overheaitng at just 35% usuage theres somthing VERY wrong with ur cooling.
If i were you i would pull apart the laptop(or find a ‘professional’ to do it), find the CPU cooler and reseat it with new TIM whilst cleaning it if need be.
Then if that doesnt stop it, i would go into the BIOS and tone down any ‘overclocks’ that has been done. Though isuspect by overclock u simple mean ‘turbo boost’ which isnt an Overclock, and in all likely hood the CPU wont be running akittens full 3.33ghz when playign GW2 as GW2 tends to use all 4 cores and thus the CPU ont allow full 3.33ghz across all cores.

Since the air intake as in the front from what i can see, there is no helping it with a laptop cooling pad unfortunatly, so if u cant fix this issue using the stock hardware on the laptop, ur pritty much stuffed.

If ur heatsinks are clogged like this, and ur ‘professional’ did not pull the laptop apart completly to clean it, then this is likely ur issue. This vid shows the heatsinks on this laptop completly clogged by a lay of dust. Same laptop as urs.

Thank you for the info, that looks a little above my skill level that’s why I took it to a local shop before. I am very comfortable taking apart desktops they were easy for me, but this looks easy to mess up.

This looks exactly like what I need though. Thanks
