vostro 1510 stopping out of the blue

[vanparijsh]

Hi all,

my dell Vostro 1510 suddenly stops and only after rebooting I get it back working.

This seems to be happening when the laptop gets warm when the left side where the cooling fan is situated really gets hot.

I tried using an extra cooling table under the laptop but to no avail, also adding extra thermal heat paste to the CPU brings no solution.

Thanks for any help.

You need to figure out what is overheating in that area and find a way to cool it down, otherwise you could wind up having to do more than say replace a fan.

Thank you,
I will look further for the reason but fear that it is a design flaw since a lot of similar messages float on the net. Probably one or more leaking elco's are to blame. I had hoped for such an answer to get sort of a confirmation.
Regards.

Good luck.
