didn't have this problem a week ago.

i can hear that fan is not ramping up, anybody might infer the reason?

[oldmanroger]

open it up and replace the fan.

I remember replacing the fan on my Asus g50vt-x5 laptop around 2 years ago, the one it came with only started when the temperature reached 50+, the one I bought started as soon as I started the laptop

A. Picture too small... link it.
B. Are you on a laptop ? (why?!), if so, open it up, clean it really well, replace the shit thermal paste the factory uses with something that actually works.

shock, re a. right click-->'view image' gave me the full size pic

Multiple failed attempts to open it up (search m7-k111dx and view all the complaints people post about it). Would just call for a warrantied repair. Bought this laptop for a mere 6 months and dust buildup shouldn't really be a real problem. I use this laptop because that's the computer that i actually own, instead of potentially cramming in gaming time on the big pc that my parent's sometimes use for work.

Dust is ALWAYS a problem, unless the computer is in a sealed clean room that has 3 doors between it and the outside.. it will get some dust.

Also.. now that i looked at the picture (thanks Tyro), the problem is clear.. HP, which leads to one question.. why ?
Just busting your balls.. maybe.

So I sent it back for repair and it was indeed dysfunct fan. It is working much better now and cpu temp has never reached over 70C. Now I miss the scent of slightly cooked lap.

And to Shock's question, dust is certainly a problem but isn't a problem that will exacerbate THAT much over a week. and HP because I know about (0 ← this much) about repairing laptops and HP has the best post-purchase custom services in US.
