These is my PC credentials:
Toshiba Satellite A505 Windows 7 Home Premium (x64) (build 7600)
1.60 gigahertz Intel Core i7 Q 720
32 kilobyte primary memory cache
64-bit ready
Multi-core (4 total)
Hyper-threaded (8 total) 487.36 GB HDD
Here are the issues I am having with this laptop:
Periodically, it will overheat and then shut down. This has been going on for a few years. Most times it overheats when my browser, Firefox, is open and is on a site where there are many video graphic ads running. The laptop is especially sensitive to full fledged videos (YouTube, Netflix etc.) running. Overheating is then very fast and shuts down quickly.
Some of the past symptoms have been, upon bootup, it will shut down before any overheating takes place. When repeated booting up, a BSOD will then appear and at CRASH DUMP report will be made. (this does not often happen) I have run Malwarebytes and Ccleaner to try to find issues but none have been found. The overheating hardware is located on the left side where the heal of my palm rests. Is this where the CPU is or is this the video card location?
I am not sure this is totally a hardware issue or if there is some 'program' running in the background? I've looked at the TASK MANAGER and never can't find anything there.
I have disabled several 'startup' programs but still the issues persist.
I would greatly appreciate any help on this.
I am a long time user of Toshiba laptops. This is my fourth since 1994.
