Hi all,
i'm no computer genius to go easy on me! But i have an issue with my computer and hoping someone can help out. Since i got my laptop (2016 i think), it has been shutting down randomly because of an overheating issue which is getting worse. The problem is that it isn't actually overheating. I started running 'Coretemp' to show the temps of the 4 cores, so when i hear the fan kicking in i've been looking at Coretemp and the temps of the 4 cores can be sitting there running at 30-40 degrees C and the computer will be beeping it's head off at me before shutting down. I can feel there's no heat coming out of the cooling fan, so effectively verifying that Coretemp is working ok. What could be causing this? Is there a temp sensor or something which could be stuffing up and telling the Bios the processor's too hot? If so, wouldn't Coretemp be using this to read the temps also?
The laptop is a Metabox with Intel Core i7 7700HQ (Kaby Lake) processor, running Windows 10
Any help here would be awesome! TIA
Cheers, al
