Old laptop turns off due to overheating
- by Jake Thomas
I have an old Laptop that powers off when the processor's temperature exceeds 84degs Celsius.
The more annoying part is flash causes this the most of the times. If I watch a web feed for more than 15-20mins, it results into hard shutdown of the machine.
I have an idea of a could-be solution to this problem, I want a program that would decrease the processor's clock speed to about 1.2GHz or whatever, leading it a lower temperature.
Is there a program out there that does this?
P.S. Someone please edit this and add the relevant tags, as I'm new and i have no idea of what tags to choose from.
