Tech Support,
I hope this isn't a repeat thread and I'm sure you may have had this issue before, but I'm not sure where to go and I could really use some help.
I have a ASUS U50 F model # u50f-rbbag05. I'm running windows 7 and I believe I may have an overheating issue that is causing terrible performance. I know enough to keep my laptop elevated to have proper airflow and ventilation, but here recently, the left side of my laptop has been very hot and I know this is going sound odd, but I smell a slight "burning smell" from the fan side. I hope my laptop is not completely ruined but right now it is my only source of communication and I use it daily. I do not game or do anything cpu intense that would cause anything to over heat.
I installed HWmonitor and have attached the screen shot of my "readings".
I don't know what the numbers mean except for temperatures. I do not know what the normal range is and what the volt readings mean.
Here are my questions:
Help me interpret my readings?
What are normal ranges for everything?
What does the "burning" smell mean? (other than not good)
Is there anything I can diagnose or do myself before I send it off to get it looked at professionally?
I would really really appreciate any direction and support!!
Thank you so so much in advance for any help and I look forward to hearing from you soon!
