[QUOTE="Knightfall, post: 8034347, member: 2012"] It might need to be cleaned. I haven't done that since I got it. I don't have any compressed air, so I have to go get some this weekend. After changing a few settings, it hasn't blue screened on me for a few days. But I've also been using it less. Even with my computer experience, I'm not comfortable opening up the laptop. Plus, it's still under warranty (I think). It's a refurbished machine, but last week the first time it ever crashed on me. My apartment gets really dusty with the windows open, so I think I'll start with using the compressed air and then go from there. I felt the bottom of the computer and it wasn't hot to the touch, so that's something at least. (I'll check it again later.) The crash happened for the first time while I had several programs running all at once including watching a Twitch stream. The next time it happened I had several program open but I was listening to iTunes (but not streaming) instead of watching Twitch. It might have been the power setting that was causing it to crash but I'm still getting an warning about one of the CPUs speed isn't running at full power. It says it is being limited by 'system firmware' even after I updated the drivers for the firmware. It seems to happen whenever turn on the PC. It's driving me nuts! I'd hate to have to take it to a service centre just to get it cleaned. :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
