Problem with Advanced Power Settings

was just curious to see what processor temp was running so i downloaded CPUID HWMonitor last week. I couldn't believe the temp was that high. Core#0 reaches 100c max. I'm not sure if the monitor will read any higher or not. Core#1 has maxed at 86c. It will stay at that reading wit Core#0 around 97c to 99c while watching movies on netflix. The idle temp is 49c to 52c for both cores. I have had this laptop for several months and it never cut off or gave me a problem. the fan does run faster when temp is up, and slows down when temp drops. I figured the heat sink may need new compound, but i'm not willing to break the laptop down to look yet . Core#0 seems to run 10-15c higher than Core#1

If i am correct Core #0 is CPU Package temp which would be main concern one then Core# 1.So Core # 1 maxing at 86c close i believe then to max temp allowed. Watching a movie should not stress it like playing a graphic intense game or software.
Seems again warm at idle 49c-52c. Normal for fan to run this way, at least we know it is running.

Keep Laptop on top of something when using, material which is not good, more better on hard surface like a desk or table.
Maybe since used inside has dirt and dust buildup if not something else is causing this to happen. How long have you had this used laptop ?

Older model Laptop back from 2009, all system driver updates are not listed on HP site it says windows 10 has them

i do keep it off the vents, and it blows air like it should. i have had the laptop for several months. I did read somewhere the max temp is 105c but don't think its true. Snapshots here

My hopes were to turn down the processor power management down to about 80% but i can't get the link to open.

What i was going to ask about again, with Laptop there is only certain changes can be made with Power options, usually won't have High Performance options for them, mostly basic options. As i look at HWMonitor i see as you told me, running hot.Even Hard Drive in 50c. Voltage i am not familiar with on a laptop but seems right at 11.v.
Not sure if this is related reasons can not open power options and heat. What caught my eye on this post was the heat issues.
Any kind of warranty with people this was bought from or technical support ?

yes i have a 3 month warranty.. I would take it back but right now i am in Massachusetts and not in North Carolina, where i bought it. It probably was overheating the whole time, but i didn't check the temps until last week. Just
wondering why it hasn't melted down yet!

Won't meltdown because it will shutoff when it reaches it's max temps allowed by CPU. Wanted to know if you did have a warranty. Can't say if resetting the laptop will solve heat issue, maybe the power options issues.

For power options issues can try these commands and see if it helps

(admin) command prompt type this exactly and press enter let it finish
sfc /scannow

Same open command prompt copy and paste this press enter let it finish
dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

reboot after

Intel Core 2 Duo Mobile T6600 AW80577GG0492MA / AW80577GG0492ML

the running temp is 0c-105c. seems too hot still and would like to get it down some. i will try running system fie checker and let you know what happens with that.

This one i posted was shown by Intel sitehttp://ark.intel.com/products/37255/Intel-Core2-Duo-Processor-T6600-2M-Cache-2_20-GHz-800-MHz-FSB


Understanding from T Junction you see from this web page is
Tjunction Max is the maximum temperature the cores can reach before thermal throttling is activated. Thermal throttling happens when the processor exceeds the maximum temperature. The processor shuts itself off in order to prevent permanent damage. Tjunction Max (Tj Max) is also referred to as TCC Activation Temperature in certain processor datasheets.

Or believe will damage thermal seal between the cpu and heatsink. Again do not think corrupt system files are solving this issue just Power options issue not working
