Re: audio and video choppy since new RAM installed

the temps are high indeed. i think and i may be wrong, the reason why the temp goes down when on battery may have something to do with how the laptop should perform when on battery (or AC in the Power Options Control Panel).

check vents and heatsink. clean up and remove dust and obstruction. use a can of compressed air to blow out the dust.

if you suspect that the fans do not spin, observe them immediately right after your power ON the laptop (at that point the fan spins then it stops after a few seconds).
