Winbook CW140 - Overheats and Hibernates/Shutsdown
Riley
✭
My laptop is about 1 year old and it's always had random hibernate/shutdown issues. It would be continuous when playing a game like Starcraft 2, although I use the lowest graphic settings and battery saver mode. It would work better when unplugged, and shut down more often when plugged in.
But sometimes, I can simply be browsing the internet with nothing intensive going on and the temperature in my house could be 71, and it still has this issue. I use the laptop on a flat laptop table and often I can't even tell it is hot until it shuts down and I touch the bottom. Is there something I can do so that I can actually utilize the Performance aspects of my i5 processor rather than simply dumbing down the settings until it stops overheating? I love the form factor and specs for the price I paid, but a great deal isn't worth anything if it won't stay on.
