my hp7058cl laptop was getting so hot,even with additional cooling fans.i opened it up and cleaned the cat fur and dust from the heat sink.now it still gets so hot that it begins shutting down and re starts itself....worse yet it boots up with horrible lines and start up screen is magnified 300%. help!
Did you remove the fan and clean the ducts? If you disturbed the heatsink you may need new thermal compound.
thanks...yes removed fans cleaned all vents and removed and cleaned heatsink.also didnt notice any old thermal compound....what does it add to cooling?
Thermal compound facilitates the flow of heat through a joint. It comes in various forms as a pad, epoxy glue, and a grease. If disturbed air pockets are formed. User replacement is usually in the form of grease sparingly applied.
