May 30, 2010How hot do MBP models get when used for graphic intensive situations? My HP reaches 88 deg C, and sometimes it powers off instantly. Any users seen situations similar to mine (more importantly, powering off)?

Feb 15, 2010I've had my MBP unibody 17 for almost a year now... it's been heating up for the past couple months (or longer?). I really haven't thought to talk about it until now.
Basically, my fans start to kick it quite often after just regular web browsing. It happens quite often if I start streaming a video or watching youtube. I don't have many apps open either. My laptop is in a cool place on hard surface that doesn't absorb heat easy either. I almost want to by a fan to put under it.
I installed SMC fan control and "fan control" since the beginning. I currently have fan control only.
Is there anything specific I can check that causes the laptop to heat up or if I messed with any "internal" settings by accident to cause it to heat up?
I almost want to think I to think it's something I downloaded or something I screwed up. My brother has the exact same computer and it runs around or under 50 all the time while running more programs than I do at times.
I'm just browsing right now with adium and and chrome running and it's running at 62 degrees.

It won't go down unless I turn it off or rev up the fans.
Apple :: Max Notebooks Heat Could Reach
Aug 30, 2009I'm playing a lot of movies online from netflex and others and I keep playing with the fan speeds and was wondering what's the safe temp to stay at I'd like to get a notebook cooler but I'm using one of those notebook rolling tables so theirs no room for one unless they have some kind of fans I could hook on top and have them cool the keyboard down,
I think pushing this to a max i'm going to dry out the heat sink paste in a few months or less, any thoughts on this !
do they sell USB fans for the top of the screen that I could point down to the keyboard?
Apple :: Does MBP SSD Significantly Reduce Heat
Sep 24, 2009I am considering purchasing a 256g SSD for my late 2008 MBP. Of course the speed increase is a given, however I have read in numerous reports that SSDs significantly reduce heat.
If I were to replace the HDD with an SSD will heat issues disappear completely or will the MBP still be too hot for a lap due to heat generated by the video card?
Apple :: White Macbook 13 - Heat
Jun 27, 2009a lot of people that owns the white macbook complains that it gets too hot, well the area that gets hot is the gpu and the cpu heatsink.
well i decided to open that baby up and change the thermal compound. from just using it for the past hour it seems to still heat up but at a slower rate and the final temp is noticeablly lower, not to mention that it haven't gone through the break-in phase.
unfortunatly i didn't take any pictures and a lot of people have done this so if you really want to, you can search of it online. but i didn't find some information that can help you make the process easier.
taking off the keyboard cover is pretty easy. after removing the screws make sure you keep track of them, this is the hardest part. the right side does not come out that easier, don't be afraid to bend it a little bit. the trick is try to remove the keyboard ribbon right now if you can't get it completely off, then you don't have to worry about using a bit more force, there's really nothing to keep you back...............
Apple :: Macbook Pro 15 Inch Unibody - Heat
Jun 20, 2009i would just like to know how hot the 15 inch macbook pro unibody runs after being under load for a few hours. I will be playing games 3-4 hours straight some nights.
i heard it runs at 70 degrees celsius under load and it stays around there, but if its running that hot:
Is it uncomfortable to use on your lap? will you want to take it off your lap after a few seconds?
Any tips on keeping it cool? i dont understand how a notebook cooler helps that much, as there are no intakes on the bottom of the notebook. And because of that how does keeping the macbook on your bed affect its temps at all? as long as you keep the vents sucking air in and blowing air out clear shouldnt it not matter?

Feb 5, 2009my new 15" unibody.
I was having bad battery life (under 2 hours) And noticed my fans were not spinning up to counter the increase in heat.
I called Apple and they had me reset my PRAM. With that done the system worked fine for a day.
Currently my Unibody will not stay connected to any wireless networks. I have tried 2 of my own routers and a friends. It will not stya connected, either on AC or battery.
Next issue involves CPU hitting 95c before the fan go past 2k rpm. Try and and play wow and the system locks up when the CPU hits 98c and the fans are still at 2k. Tried reseting the PRAM again, no luck.
Apple :: Macbook Pros Unibodys - Heat -shouldthermal Paste Drying Up On This Cpu Inside This Notebook

Apple :: Heat - Design - Unibody White Vs- Aluminum - Battery Life Vs- Video Card - Windows
Apr 14, 20101.I really didn't find much info on the (now not so) new white unibody Macbooks, expect some items for sale. And please, don't tell me that just buy the aluminum model for the extra $200, my question is strictly from an engineering point of view: heat. We all know aluminum Macbooks are quite hot, right? But how does the white unibody compares to the aluminum regarding heat issues?
2.What might be the reason that the whole bottom of the white unibody contcts the table beneath it, compared to the aluminum model, which has four rubber contact points on the four corners?
3.On the other thread I read a dedicated graphics card does not really add to battery consumption. Can you confirm that?
My main usage profile is office, web and seeing (HD, if available) Youtube videos. This one is rather a 15" vs. 13" Pro question, and half hypothetic. Let's say, all things are being equal on two models, the processor none the least, the only differences are one model has the integrated Nvidia, the other the integrated Intel plus discreet Nvidia combo, which one would serve me better, regarding performance and battery life? The discreet graphics would at least turn on when playing the HD videos?
4.Running native Windows (7 or XP) still suck on Macbooks, because of the drivers?

May 2, 2010I have read threads about Skype and windows 7, Skype and Dell XPS 1640and IDT codec sound drivers having issues.
I have an XPS 1340 with IDT for sound software, I have had my machine running good for about a month now, after I did a complete system restore 3 times.
So, I was wondering can anyone recommend a Skype version that is pretty friendly with the XPS 1340. or can I use the IDT drivers for the 1640 that I read about working with Skype

Apple :: I7, 15" Or 17" - Heat - Battery Life
Apr 21, 2010Just wondering if anyone has had any heat issues with the new i7 processors in their MBP's, and whether or not it would be worth NOT opting to get the i7, and just sticking to the i5 because of heat issues?
I would ask about battery life, but being a mac I imagine it gets at least 5-6 hours whether on an i7 or an i5 anyways correct?
I am still debating different laptop brands, but leaning towards a MBP upgrade now. I can get a 15" i7 antiglare, for only $5 difference from a 17" i5 antiglare so... just wondering if there is any significant advantage with one over the other.
I'd be doing graphics/3D work, and a game here and there perhaps.

HP 15 D037dx Display :: Webcam Is Not Working For YouCam Or Skype
Aug 18, 2014Product Name:
HP 15-d037dx TouchSmart Notebook PC
Operating System:Windows 8.1 (64-bit)
Webcam doesn't work for YouCam or Skype, haven't tried anything else because that's all I need it for. YouCam says "CyberLink YouCam coult not capture the content." and skype just buffers a black screen when I go to video settings. Both have "HP Truvevision HD" selected as the webcam and in device manager under imaging devices "HP Truvevision HD" is there and updated. The laptop was restored to factory setting, I installed Windows updates along with making sure the drivers are updated. Nothing has been unistalled and not much has been installed.
Apple :: 13" MBP Vs 15" MBP Heat Difference
Nov 14, 2009I owned the 13" 2.53 Ghz with a 250GB 5400rpm HD and I was wanting to know how much difference there is between that and a 15" with the dual GPU setup? Compare both under normal useage and both under alittle stress.
I am considering going to the 15" but not if it is any hotter than the 13" I owned.

Mar 21, 2010Was recommended by a friend to post here... Rather new to this =P. So, if you need information or more specs for my computer or whatever, just stay so.
My issue... I posted on the Microsoft Answers forum. If it's ok (and if it's not, please say so, but I don't think I read anywhere that it's not allowed), i'm just going to post a link my post there:
http://social.answers.microsoft.com/...equired&ppud=4
Hopefully that works lol. I'll summarize in case it doesn't... or in case you don't want to read the whole thing. It's basically the typical, not-so-helpful, Microsoft Employee response... Nothing more needs to be said =P.
Basically... I upgraded to Windows 7 (64 bit, upgraded from Vista) on Tuesday. Started actually using my computer on Wednesday, and immediately noticed a lot of issues.
Biggest one was that Skype would freeze after using it for about 30 sec - 1 min. I would shut it down, restart the program, and it wouldn't start up (usually; if it would start up, it would freeze almost immediately after).
I eventually just ignored the issue, and continued using my computer. One time after this problem with Skype occurred, I tried to open Steam to try to play Battlefield: Bad Company 2, and steam wouldn't open .....
HP Pavilion G7 OS/Software :: Windows 7 Crashes To Blue Screen When Try To Update Skype
Jun 5, 2014I have the HP- Pavilion g7 Notebook and have not had any problems until I was getting a Blue Screen of death after an update of Skype got on my computer. I had to do a system recovery several times until I found out this is a problem apparently caused by skype, now skype wants to update again and windows7 doesn't like it at all, the machine crashes again. Last resort, I downloaded an older verson of skype which works fine but in the long run doesn't solve the problem. If there is a fix what is it, I have not gotten any suggestions from skype, to get this resolved. The only thing I hear it might be related to some driver that has not been updated. What can I do?
