Gang Sabre Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Theres always task manager to close any unwanted programs that eat up your CPU. This can cause your computer to overheat, and might even lag your RuneScape. My thoughts exactly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishamael Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 As you guys are saying, it's possible that it's a battery problem. However, I think it would be a good idea to run a few tests first. You can download this program called Memtest (http://www.memtest86.com). Follow the instructions on the website to test your ram for problems Then I'd suggest downloading both Realtemp (temperature monitoring program) and Intel Burn Test. Open Realtemp and then do a burn test using all your cores at 100%. Make it go through multiple cycles. This will make your CPU work at max capacity and you'll be able to see of your CPU is getting too hot. I'd be worried about anything over 60C. Also, to check for viruses I'd suggest getting Malwarebytes. The free version is great and will find viruses that many other paid programs won't find. Use it with your current program for double checking. Hope this helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sbrideau Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 A laptop naturally runs a bit hotter than a desktop, and Intel Burn Test actually overworks the CPU, so I say temperatures are ok until the high 60s/low 70s on the Intel Burn Test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishamael Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Yeah but at the same time it could be full of dust or the thermal paste could need replacement which could cause the laptop to not work properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sbrideau Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 That's one the first possibilities that were mentionned in this thread or a previous one, iirc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishamael Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Yeah, I know. I was just giving some methods I've used to troubleshoot such a problem. I always feel like it's a good idea to test your current hardware for trouble before going and purchasing new components in case it's something small like thermal paste or a faulty stick of RAM. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imperator Posted July 22, 2015 Author Share Posted July 22, 2015 Firstly, my apologies for forgetting to add a conclusion to this thread. My laptop has been operating normally for the past month(s) so I conclude it must of been overheating or the like. However, I plan to look for a newer laptop mainly for productivity/school which I may create a thread regarding it. I request that a moderator lock this thread as we've come to a conclusion. Thanks everyone! :pray: Check out my upcoming Progress thread in the spoiler! *Currently postponed until further notice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
