Computer overheating

Gerardthedevil · Posted: Mon Jul 19, 2010 1:42 pm Post subject: Computer overheating

I have an asus windows vista computer. After 30 minutes of using it a little pop up will come on the bottom of the screen saying
AI Probe: Voltage speed normal-Fan speed normal-Temperature abnormal

Im guessing I need to change to cooling fan. Since I don't know how to do that, how much do you think it would cost if I were to take it to best buy at geek squad.

Was it a preused computer, custom, or did you just buy it all whole?

Well I want to have it diagnosed before I go right ahead and change it.

Just open if up and clear the dust/lint off your fans and stuff. See if that fixes before you go and start replacing things.

I already cleaned it but the problem still occured so I'll have it diagnosed before replacing things.

Open it up while it's on and check to see all the fans are spinning properly.

It's summer. Most likely, your place is just too hot. Turn on the AC.
