re: Compaq Presario Laptop Shuts Down

I have had an overheating problem due to the heat sink hold down nuts pulling out of the motherboard and have discovered a way to fix the problem. Dan is correct about he $40 fix, but if you are handy with a soldering iron you can do the job yourself. The brass hold down nuts as well as the board will still have some solder on them, so place the brass nut back in it's original position on the board then insert the pointed end of the soldering iron into the nut and in a few seconds you will notice the solder melting around the nut on the motherboard. When this happens turn the iron slightly to the left then right to seat the nut (make sure the nut is straight up) then using something to hold the nut down slip the soldering iron out and let the nut cool down. Repeat on all dislocated hold downs. Mine has held up for a year now. If need be add a small amount of new solder. I hope this is helpful.

This was suppose to be in front of the last two I posted but anyway my computer compaq v2000. It was overheating after a reinstall of XP. Sometimes reaching temps of 97 degrees C. At idle it was around 80C. Today I updated the BIOS Firmware and now the fan will kick on around 55C or 56C. So if your having a problem with your fan coming on only at startup or not at all try upgrading your BIOS for you pc manufacturers website.

So it may have not been the Trojan Horse I mentioned earlier. I think it was actually the BIOS that was causing my pc to overheat.

P.S. Make sure you get the right BIOS for your pc! If you don't it might cause problems. I actually got the wrong one a first from HP but it let me know when I tried to install it.

for me personally, i like the latest windows messenger the best... simple, easy, no tabs, no bottom ads, no nonsense...

only i would like to have the offline messages thing on it... that would make it superb...

I have a V2000 and last night it was overheating and shutting down a lot. I had just reinstalled XP like a week before. I ran Spybot and it kept stopping and shutting down as soon as it got to a file called virtumonde.dll. It did this quite a few times. So since I didn't have anything important on my drive I figured I would format and reinstall but I couldn't finish a format without it shutting down so I thought I was screwed. So I took out the hard drive witch was seriously hot and let it cool overnight. Today I was able to reformat and reinstall XP no prob. I ran Spybot no prob. I think it was that Trojan virtumonde.dll making my cpu and memory work overtime till it shut down. I have had no problems since this morning and have been running the laptop all day. I took it apart and blew all the dust out of it with a compressor. My heat sink is different from the ones explained here and was not loose. The thing is my fan doesn't seem to come on when it should. Only at start up. I want to be able to control when it comes on. Any ideas?

We've got the same issue at www.riddlecrack.com. We simply used:

Sitemap: http://www.[yourdomain].com/[yoursitemapindex2]

And it seems to be okay as judged by the google webmaster tools?

guess what? same problem. although my r4000 has been going strong for 3 years up until it fell out of the carry bag from a great height (i'm 6'5") on to concrete.

If someone could send the instructions I would be ever so grateful.

thanks
