Your CPU temps are WAAAAAAAY OTT Steve :emotion-3:

Heck - even the cores of the CPU in my XPS M1730 are currently sitting at 35°c, and they don't (/haven't yet) go over 47°c - even during a heavy gaming session!

Are you absolutely sure those temps are in centigrade/Celsius, and not Fahrenheit, because 96°f equates to 35.6°c, which would be far more like it?

Try running Core Temp or Real Temp, to double check?

If you confirm the temps are indeed in centigrade, there's obviously something seriously wrong with your CPU or cooling system somewhere, so you do need to contact tech support :emotion-55:

And I'd suggest you do so ASAP, before your laptop goes up in smoke... literally :emotion-3:

I've just ran the core temp program as suggested:

Thanks

Here is a screenshot from Everest. I'll check with the other programs too.

I stopped playing PKR after posting that message, left my computer for quite a while.. and ran the built in diagnostics ( FN + power ) which returned nothing.

This seems to be happening a lot and it's bothering me. Also, i've found when I have bluetooth enabled, every say 15 seconds my mouse and everything freezes for two.

I'll have a look using the other programs too but I'd imagine it will only read from the same sensor.

Last time I spoke to the tech support they just told me not to use it on my lap yada yada.... when I have it on my lap it is always on one of them heat mats and I make sure the vents are not blocked. 

Should I contact customer support again? This may sound over the top I know because I used to build computers and know about the seperate componants but... should I just ask for a new laptop because the number of problems i've had is mad. I've had dell out twice in under a year and it's still not right.

I do know that PKR does demand a bit of the laptop but I run it in "low detail"... and either way the top end of the 90s is silly.

Thanks for your help!

Hello,

103C for your AUX is way to hot.

Do you have the up to date Bios for your Inspiron 1525.

If not, Here is the A16 bios update link:

Also did you get the up to date bios for you chipset?

If not, here is the the Driver link:

<ADMIN NOTE: Broken link has been removed / replaced from this post by Dell>

Installing update to date drivers can fix common problems that many others have had.

Good Luck

Austin

Thankyou Austin for your help!

I have already got the latest A16 Bios update.

I'm wondering if it could be just the game that i'm playing but others seem fine, however Dell have now been quite quick to say they want to replace the motherboard, processor, heatsink and system fan. 

Surely replacing the system costs around the same as to hire an engineer to come out and replace all that. Also, I don't know if that is definately the problem. I got into the 90+ again on " balanced " power options but when I dropped it to "power saver" it went down to around 70. Could it just be the program i'm running? Even if i'm running PKR, should it get THAT hot? I'm sure the specs don't demand that much of it. I'm totally un-sure but the last thing I want is for Dell to send out an engineer again replacing parts and not knowing exactly what the problem is, or for it just to be the same!

I know the motherboard and processor are expensive parts. 

It's also the same man that has come out twice to fix my laptop and I don't want to feel like I'm messing HIM around.

At the time of typing this, i'm running just google chrome and my laptop has reached 55 C... i've been running the laptop for about 15-20 mins but not really under any stress.

Thankyou again for all your help

Steve
