bubbsboy: To be honest sometimes when im playing WGT my laptop seems to make a bit of a racket and sometimes not....When its noisy the game is smooth
This sounds like a heat issue. If the fan is what's causing the noise and everything's OK when it's noisy, not hearing the noise could mean the fan's not running and your CPU is running hot.
A couple of things that could help-a cool pad ($20 at most department stores) that you set your laptop on that has its own fan. In the absence of that, prop the back of your laptop up so there's more space underneath it to allow for air circulation. You could be looking at a tired fan that might be all dusted up and having to work too hard to keep things cool.
Also, how do you start the game? Hitting Play Now? If you do it this way, make sure you close the main page as the activity on it can get in the way.
Brilliant advice Jim, thanks
I play with laptop on my knee, in armchair legs out on stool (back issue means its more comfortable than sitting at a table)
Laptop only 6 months old Toshiba, 2 vents are exposed, side and underneath centre (between my legs ooooer), two vents are not, they are where legs are.
Ive listened to the main side vent close up and i can hear like as though theres a bit of grit bouncing about.
Def believe im an idiot and as im blocking 2 of the 3 underneath vents then im restricting airflow, nor the wonder the side main vent is blowing like a hair dryer
Time to re think comfort lol
Thanks mate, im now gonna try to get this lifted a bit
