Your best bet is to give your computer better circulation. Don't
surround it with books or CD cases. Also, you could try elevating it
by putting the computer on a couple of jewel cases or one of those
expensive laptop stands.

Do you know that your laptop is even designed to run with an Athlon
1600? It may not be able to cool a chip running that hot. Your best
bet is to find a service manual for the computer to see if there's a
way to lower the voltage. Any upgraded BIOS would probably be on the
manufacturer's website, if it is even possible to lower the voltage.
Sometimes a jumper on the motherboard can do it.

no vay to lower voltage on service guide.
my notebook support 'till athlon 1800, so this is not the problem, and on
the user guide, they say it'll run with the oldest bios release, 1A11, my
lap is upgraded to 3A21, i can upgrade to 3A71, but this scares me:

ET2 release version BIOS.
A. Fixed Problems
add amd model 10 cpu support
remove duron cpu support
critical shutdown point in 105'C
VGA ROM change


what does it means? that if the new cpu is still overheating i can't use
anymore my original duron cpu?
this will drive me to a dead laptop. :(

what sould i do? try the bios upgrade?
arghhhh.....

If AMD model 10 are the 1.45V, then that's what u need to do.

You HAVE to lower your voltage to 1.45V else u can't use that baby. Do
any of the AMD 1.55V series support higher clock rates?
