   I faced same kind of problem in my DELL inspiron 1525. Actually your ‘thermistor’ , which is on motherboard , is damaged. There are 2 or more thermistor on motherboard. You have to check the voltage through every one and have to replace one or more. I would suggest you to go to a laptop hardware repairing shop and get the thermistor changed. I have to pay Rs. 1000 for this and now my laptop is working fine.

   Hope this will help.

   Those temps aren’t too too bad, but they’re not good (some video cards run at 80C). Have you taken the side of the case off and dusted? Clean off all the fans and heatsinks.

   If that doesn’t help, one of your sticks of RAM might be dying. Test them singly.

   All of those temps seem a little high but nothing that would cause your computer to crash (except your cpu that may be too high) However, heat may not be the only issue. Download prime95 and run a stress test, your system may not be stable.

   Well first off, Speedfan is not a reliable source for actual hardware voltage and temperature changes. If your hard drives are not S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology), or do not have that detection feature turn on (its off by default), where is it getting its numbers from.

   Secondly, any video card over 256M needs an extra ventilation and exhaust system (case fans to bring in free cool air and exhaust out hot air). CPU can run as normal as the 2nd sets of numbers you listed but as I said, Speedfan is not a reliable source so if you’re really overheating at the temps Speed fan is listing, then I’d say its not reporting the correct temperatures.

   Technically you can run your computer with the cover removed to allow more air flow, but its not recommended if you often ingest any liquids when near your computer, or you have a pet.

   That blue screen of death (BSOD) pops up on software changes to your system and not over heating issues. Un-install the recent program installed. The BSOD always lists the offending file or files it has found corrupt. Re-download those, or that file and re-install again.

   Those beep sequences on boot-up all mean a different thing to the various types of Bio’s installed. On boot-up, the name of the type of Bio’s you have will show up in the top left hand corner of the screen prior to the boot-up checks and other sequences. Visit the link below after determining which Bios you have and find your beep sequence and follow the instructions there to repair/fix it.
