Laptop repair

[Dazed_75]

It could just be the heat buildup.  Try to verify that the fan is working
and check for dust buildup.  Canned air works pretty good for blowing those
things out.  You might want to try that first before spending money to have
someone else fix it.

You could also monitor temperatures with one of the sensor programs and see
how much higher it gets with both sticks in place than with only one.
