Over heating problems >_<

hi i have an inspiron 1525 series laptop and lately ive been having an issue with a game i play called Flyff while im playing this game my client sumtimes shutsdown and brings me back to my desktop ive been searching the internet about it and it said that sumtimes laptops overheat easily with this game because it takes a fairly large amount of resources if anyone could give me any kind of advice for this problem id be gladly appreciative

sorry for any inconvenience that may ensue upon your day by helping me >_<

 

Hello irritatedbeyondbelief, please download hddhealth

Once downloaded and installed, open it and click on the system tab. On the right side it will show you your system temperature, if it's anywhere near the red zone, it's probably overheating.

If it's not near the red zone, the problem probably isn't overheating, and we will consider trying something else...

 

thanks for this tip i did download hddhealth and when the game crashed it was still at 100% in excellent condition if it helps any should i list wat happens on screen when the game client does crash?

 

Well when the game crashed motions become blurred and mix together an error message does pop up but the motion blurr covers it over everytime so i cant read it :\
as for the system or software lists could u explain how to access those? im not very familiar with technical stuff yet >_<
ill download speed fan onto my laptop as soon as i get back on it *replying from desktop*
thanks

Hello irritatedbeyondbelief,

The error seems to be caused by a problem with igxpdx32.dll which is part of the intel video driver pack.

Please reinstall the driver i.e

1. Restart your computer.
2. Before the windows logo tap the F8 key repeatedly until you are presented with a Windows Advanced Options menu.
3. Select the option Safe Mode with the arrow keys.
4. Then press enter on your keyboard to boot into Safe Mode.
5. Once in safe mode browse to Start -> Control Panel -> System (vista users click system and maintenance -> device manager). Xp users select the Hardware tab and click Device Manager. Once in device manager locate your intel video driver pack, right click on it and select uninstall. Now restart your system and boot into normal mode. You will be prompted to install the driver. Do so, and see if that fixes the problem. If you would like to, you can use intel's driver update utility to scan your computer for the latest intel drivers.
