I have an HP laptop with
AMD Turion II X2 mobile processor RM-72 / 2.1 GHz CPU, Socket S1.
It is now causing blue screens in windows, and freezes
fbsd, pclinuxos, knoppix, fedora live.
I have run the x86 mem test for more than a day, and
found no problems with the 4GB ram (2GB X 2).
I am wondering why the memtest does not freeze????
could it be that only one core is causing the problem?
At any rate I wanted to replace it with
AMD Turion II Ultra M660 TMM660DBO23GQ 2.7GHz Dual-Core Mobile CPU
Processor, Socket S1
Will I be running into any problems?
Would the heat be an issue?
These are the full technical data on it:
General information
I'm think, i'm too late, but make a test with
http://www.superpi.net/ (not testet, but super pi was in the past a good
program)
or
http://www.cpuburnin.com/ (same problem, not testet in the last time)
Start for every core one instance to bring up your CPU to 100% working.
Greetings
Thanks to everyone's suggestions.
I finally had some cycles to open the laptop and cleanup up the
old dried up grease off the cpu and the heat sink and applied
the arctic silver. I smeared it in thin sheet on both the cpu and the
heat sink's contact surface.
I buttoned the thing back up and installed fc20 from DVD iso.
All went well during the install.
I booted and opened the file browser to browse the boot drive. No problems.
I immediately opened the file browser again to seperately browse another
drive
and it crashed instantly after the gui of the 2nd file browser came up.
I uploaded the screen image of crash message to
https://www.sendspace.com/file/exy97h
I noticed that during the installation of fc20, the air coming
out of the exhaust vent was almost scalding if I kept my finger there
for about a minute or so. By scalding, I mean if I had touched
a metal surface of that temperature for say 30 seconds, I would
have felt some pain.
Also, I noticed that the cooling fan remained at normal operating
speed, instead of spinning faster, as I usually hear it spin fast for
about a few seconds when I power it on.
So, I am not sure whether the problem is the fan or the cpu.
P.S: I also ran the memtest 86 full tests of 1 pass.
I installed fc20 after it had reached somewhere near the middle
of pass 2. It had detected no errors. 10 hours had passed since
I had started the memtest86.
I am not sure if each pass would run different tests. Perhaps
someone can expand on that.
Is a bios update for your laptop avaible?
Can you disable the second core in bios and test it again?
memtest86 just test your memory, not your cpu, but it looks like your
second cpu core had a little problem.
Greetings
There is an update on the HP website for the BIOS.
I do believe that I had updated it the last time when
I posted this problem. But I will check again, and if
it is not latest, I will indeed install it via windows 7 (on partition 1).
What I am thinking to do now is not only to gather the lmsensors
data, but also to use a fedora (20) package to reduce the frequency
(and hopefully, thus the temperature, of the cpu. Perhaps that
will go a long way to alleviate the problem.
