Hello, this is my first time posting on this site...so if I am posting in the wrong area, please feel free to let me know. Okay, so the problem I have been having started about a week ago. My laptop fan began running super fast and making a lot of noise. Also, my computer started running super slow. I am running Windows 8.1 pro 64-bit on a Toshiba Sattelite A665-S6094, intel core i7 Q 740 @1.73GHz, 8 gigz of ram. What I have already done to try to remedy the problem is:
1. Optimize the drive (win 8.1's equivalent to defragging)
2. Error Checking with tool in properties (nothing found)
3.Disk Cleanup tool in properties
4. cleared all Cache, Temp files, Log files, error reporting, etc etc. with CCleaner.
5. fixed registry errors with CCleaner
6. checked for malware with malwarebytes, some was found, and has been removed.
7. checked through programs and uninstalled all that I no longer use.
8. Scanned for virus' w/ windows Defender (Win 8's equivalent to Microsoft Security Essentials) none were found
9. Used CCleaner's 'Drive Wiper' function to wipe the empty spaces on the drive. and
10. I have also tried inserting a couple other HDD's that just have a fresh install of win 8.1, and the problem was still there. oh and
11. Obviously I took the fan and heat sink out and blew the out with compressed air and blew out the entire inside to remove any dust that was in there (which was not much as I do this once every month or 2)
12. A side note....yes my BIOS is updated to the most recent version, I updated it a month or 2 ago
I would be very grateful for any input or opinions anyone has, If you require more information, please ask and I will do my best to reply promptly Thank you..
