That looks better_you dropped your Temps about 10 degrees on gpu /cpu.

Cleaning the vents with compressed air is simple & does not require taking laptop apart, though that would allow more thorough cleaning. The can of air comes with a tiny straw attached to can that you insert into ports /vents and use blasts of air to clean.

Your Bios updates are available on your  drivers page: HERE

I have a question about my wireless connections. I previously upgraded from Vista to W7 and the process went smoothly. Recently, due to spyware and junk, I decided to reformat and after doing so, I managed to figure out where to get my drivers and everything else I need. One problem that still remains though is that my wireless connections are consistently weak. I am only able to discover 2 or 3 wireless connections and they are all 1 or 2 bars strong. I have a broadcom wireless card and initially used the drivers that windows update gave to me but after realizing that my signal was always weak, I tried the ones that were linked on the first page for broadcom. They have also proven to be weak. Can anyone offer me help on this matter please?

I take my issue back. I downloaded the Vista broadcom drivers for it and it works fine now. 🙂

Glad you solved the wireless problem. Many of the Vista drivers work on these laptops. 😉

Trying to install conexant audio drivers from a few pages earlier, and I get this error:

 

  Driver Installation Failed. Could not find the MEDIA device for this driver.

 

What should I do?
