Transformer Book TX300 Overheating

[ricardjs]

Hello everyone.

Do some of you guys feel overheating on their transformerbook?

A couple of days ago i started to notice some graphics corruption on my screen; i noticed it was only during high-def movies or, when i have a lot of flash windows opened (uses a lot of cpu). Immediately overheating came to mind.

I downloaded some hardware monitor software and was frightened: The CPU was at 77 Degrees (Celcius)!!!! That's when i was having graphics corruption.

I closed all windows, cpu usuage went back to normal, and the screen corruption dissapeared...

Anyone here had the same happening?

Can you better describe that corruption? Did you meant color degradation on some area?

Not colour degradation; it is the when the image you see on the screen becomes garbled. Sort of like you see on this video:

I know what it is because i had it some years ago on a computer on which the graphics card fan stopped working: For normal use i wouldn't get graphics corruption, but when gaming, after 1 minute or so it started. After the moment i fixed the fan it was solved.
