Hello!
I have Acer E5 573 G
Win 10 Pro x64 (updated)
Intel i5 5200U
NVIDIA GeForce 920M (2GB)
4GB DDR3 800mhz
500 SSD Evo now ( 500 HDD before)
The Problem is that after i installed the SSD my CPU starts to Overheat sometimes when i do nothing or minimal tasks (before SSD it was not acting like that)
Hope to solve the Problem...
 
Solution
How much RAM is in use at that moments? Maybe you have too much processes in the background, they overflow your 4GBs and the faster SSD allows faster pagination and is keeping your CPU busier.
How are you determining that you are suffering any overheating? (It is far more likely that a heat sink was jarred out of position/proper contact or cooling fan accidentally disconnected than to to suspect that mere faster storage access is somehow causing overheats in itself.)

That part has to be on heat because it's the cooler, you can't know if it's overheating just putting your hands close or touching it. How do you know that it is now hotter than before? You did the same "test"? An increase on the heating is very unlikely to be due to storage changes. Additionally, SSDs are colder than HDDs so temps should be better.

If you have replaced your thermal paste and the part you circled is getting hotter than before that means that you just improved your cooling because more heat is being dissipated by the cooler.

i didn t replace thermal paste just a HDD with SSD ,and the annoying problem is now i hear how the cooler is spinnig very fast ,when i do simple task but it s not every time ,it can happen when i log on pc or when i enter task manager
 
Download and run HWInfo (it's free) and confirm that you do indeed have a temperature issue. I think if there is a problem, and it just started after you installed the SSD, then you likely bumped that heatsink/cooler and it is no longer sitting correctly on the CPU and/or the paste is dried out and crumbled. You should apply fresh thermal paste and remount the heatsink. Google for videos on how to do that if you don't know.

If you have two ram spaces, you can just buy a 4GB RAM with the same specs of the other and pair them ;)

dudio, a lot of laptops allow you to change RAM and even the HDD without disassembly to the MoBo. He will probably have disassembled it because he more or less knows what he is doing. And it is almost impossible that he moved the heatsink unintentionally.
