Hi,
Recently, while playing games, my laptop has been grossly overheating and lagging like mad after a while of playing. I did have Speedfan running for a couple days and with it active (with auto fan speed) it wasn't so bad, but now whenever i open it (even after reinstall) it crashed my system.
I have manually increased my graphics card fan speed to 100%, and thats helped partly cool it, but i'm thinking it may be something wrong with my CPU fan aswell, i've posted this in graphics as that is registering as hotter using HWMonitor.
Here are my results from 'standing still':

And these ar results from running Dawn Of War II Retribution(Lowest settings) after a couple of games ...

And my full system specs:
Laptop: Dell studio 1558
Operating System: Windows 7 home premium 64bit
Processor: Intel Core I5(4 CPU's) m430 2.27ghz: Registers 4.54ghz
BIOS: ver1.00 A11 PARTTBLr
Ram: 4.00gb
GFX Card: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 545v 2.2gb Video Ram
Sound Card: IDT High Definition Audio CODEC
Direct X: 11
All of my drivers are up to date as well, as you can see i should be able to run the game on high settings with no issues. Is this a case of the fans not working correctly or could it be something else i need to do?
Thanks for your time.
