What do you think?


For one week my Fujitsu Siemens is working really bad...



1 - I noticed that it's getting hot really fast, the motherboard comes to 65? the HD to 55?and the processor to 75? Then the computer turns off by itself, for god sakes.



2 - I was talking to some "experts" and they told me that probaly it's my processor working bad or my cooler working bad, but in the back of my mind there was something saying it wasn't the problem.



3 - Today, after one week, I just figured out that if a computer beggins to get heated is not because of the cooler or because of the processor at all. So I had the brilliant ideia of check the CUP Usage, and if I open the WMP the computer's usage becomes to 30% and it seems to be so worse. So, as you see it seems to be a virus right now, and a really ****ing smart virus, Why? Because if I use the AVG scan the CPU usage beggins to varies from 91% to 100% (Tops. Thanks god that 100% is the top) then the last thing I know is that the laptop is off.



So guys, what do you think it is... because I came here hoping to find some smart guys, at least smarters than the ****ing "experts" I have here. So... Does it seems to be the processor ****ed?

Does it seems to be the cooler ****ed?

or does it seems to be a ****ing virus ****ing up everything?



Well, I would like to do not have ppl who doesn't know what they're talking about just saying bullshits.



Thanks so far,

Renato.

ok, first things first, lets check to see if you have a virus, do everything in here
Basic Malware Removal

then do this
Hijackthis Logs
and post results in a new thread in
http://www.computerforum.com/forumdisplay.php?f=34

Now second;
if the temperature of your cpu is reading correclty then your cooling is failing (how did you take the temp reading), no amount of virus or cpu usage should push up the temperature that high. As for the possibility that your cpu may be broken, i doubt it; not with these symptoms. Cooling would be my bet, dont panic its not uncommon for cooling issues with laptops.

thirdly
less of the swearing

and finally
as much as i appreciate it others may not (and we have young members) please change your avartar.

Hope that helps

PS
be sure to check in to the offical newcomers thread

Ok... Avatar changed and I'm downloading those softwares. But the main problem is that I don't believe that the programs are going to finish scaning before the machine turns off. Anyway, I've got a huge fan working behind my laptop and I hope it helps a bit. Thanks so far... I'll follow all the steps. Including the official newcomers thread.

Thanks for helping and soon I'll post my results.

Well... I'm doing the ad-aware, I've used the both programs before. They're really good.

The CPU Usage is varying from 46% to 100%.



I do the temperature with a program called "SpeedFan" this one seems to be the best freeware I could find. So far the ad-ware found 14 critical Objects and it has scanned only 85.000 objects.



I think the PC is going to turn off soon.

Ok.... So far I have stoped scaning my baby coz is getting to hot and I want to take it easy for a while before I start scaning again. But so far Ad-Aware found 29 Critical Objects. The log is saved if you wanna see it.

Well... the next step I'm going to do is run the Spybot scan, but before that I'll give a break for my baby... Hehehe, I don't want the things to get more hot than they already are.

Thanks for Helping.

try booting to safe mode to run the scans, oh and you cant stop the scan untill they have finished. Otherwise they wont delete the affected files

Yeah.... I know that I cannot stop scaning before it's finished, but thanks for warning. I had those softwares before but it was 4 years ago so I forgot then in the back of my mind... I never had a problem like this I got right now in my computer, maybe because before I had Desktops only, this is the first Laptop I have and I don't trust too much on the experts we have here in my town so... I came here and showed my trouble to you because I know that this is a serious forum and ppl who understand what saying (just like you) are always able to help anyone.

I'm gonna try booting to the safe mode now. Later on I tell news.

At least so far I can see a progress. This is the first time I open a program in my laptop and I don't see the Computer's usage going higher than 12%. The computer's usage is lower than 6%, now 6% is tops and This is the first time i see the CPU temperature and the Motherboard temperature going down instead of increasing up as well I c the HD temperature stabilizing. never higher than 39 degrees

do you have the restoration discs? as long as you can back some things up, i wouldn't even mess with scanning. there's no guarentee you'll catch everything and it may have screwed things up beyond repair anyhow. i would just do the restoration and if the problem persists, you know it is hardware. if you are comfortable with opening up the laptop, you can examine the heatsink/fan. clean them if needed, maybe reapply a high quality heat sink compound like articsilver, and cross your fingers!



most laptop service guides can be found online and will give you complete instructions on how to tear the laptop apart. keep good notes, there's a lotttt of screws!
