I think temps are horse for courses but when my laptop starts to get into the 60s, it gets a good blow out.

This laptop is a Dual Core.

Anyway, here's some bedtime reading https://www.badosoft.com/knowledgebase/fix_computer_lag_successfully.php

Memory - it's talking about your Paging File and Virtual Memory.

By default, Windows auto looks after this but utilises the free space on a HDD so lack of free space or high fragmentation will reduce this and could lead to a memory error message.

As for cleaning it out, blow out the exhaust port and the fan air intake, as well as the keyboard then see if the temps comes down somewhat.

Removing the RAM module panel will help you to get in a bit more, but don't touch any components with the straw to avoid static transfer.

In extreme cases the thermal paste needs to be renewed on the CPU, which while you could do yourself, laptops can be finicky to strip down to that level so it would be better to take it in for that.

[Problem Solved]

I've monitored my pc performance at startup daily by a system(a batch that adds 1 continuasly for a minute duration , just to trace performance ; also known as APM) and discovered i caught some sort of Ghost Virus.Incredibly enough none of the antiviruses i used deteced it so i had to manually backtrack it(thank god i had that batch so i see any performance drops).

Anyways,this virus just "Disabled" all my drivers 1 by 1 by removing their part of their vital functions(you know the graphic card driver,remove it and your system will start crawilng).In addition it fucked up with my laptop battery drive and I recieved a message of Inadequate voltage(so your battery wont charge because that pesky virus "reduced" the value of the voltage your battery charges making it apparently full but with reduce voltage so it will sustain the device way shorter).It keeps the application running and prevents it from crashing so everthing works apparently ok at Software and you start blaming the Hardware.Anyways got rid of it but very hard,mostly cleaning up most partitons(about 50% or more),defragmenting and repeated scanning and none came.


Glad I got rid of it.Now Device APM tripled,got from 4900-5000 to about 19000 so I am very happy.
Thx for all help and support.Until then avoid searching for Newest movies,i caught this from a cookie of Zootopia or KungFuPanda 3

Boggin:
Yes, an infection would certainly do it but with what you have installed, would have thought at least one of those would have caught it.

Do you have MBAM set to treat PuPs and PuMs as malware ?

I think we were thrown off by the high temps which would also have given you the symptoms you were experiencing.

Did you catch the name of the infection ?

dondon:
Checked MBAM and yes,I have it to treat PUPs and PUMs as Malaware.And about the name of infection I can't tell exactly what its name was.I just assumed the file responsible for that is within some folders I worked recently with, mainly my downloads folder.Then deleted all local content stored by my browser to eliminate all data stored on my device from various websites.I must't have deleted it long with some other filles.I deleted most of my PC games and now all my local disk have either 50% or below disk occupied.I don't know for sure its name mainly because Task manager didn't dispayed it as a process so it was completely "Invisible" to Me(Task Manager - tryed that first,dispay process from all users ; Process Monitor),just nothing to see.

As I said ,that virus might have been lingering in my system for a while and activate itself periodicaly through a registry schedule.Since autoimatic registry editing is a background service you wont even notice any change.I still pointed out what i've been searching for that gave me that infection.
And I still had to monitor my device to ensure complete removal.Since my last post, the performance (APM) is way greater.That graphs have data from the ending of my backtracking process and observing the performance improvements.The virus didn't seem to make any new appearence in my system

Steps Undertaken by Manual BackTracking

1. Remove old Filles to improve scanning speed(Remove OLD Large Trusted Filles (All but Recent System restore Points,PC Games,Movies) )
2. Scan for Viruses(used Avast and Kaspersky,curiously none reported anything since i monitor all my downloads(Check then Move for SafeKeep/ Remove))
3. Scan for Malware(MBAM-no malware detected)
4. Disk Cleanup(cleanmgr.msc process to delete ol filles,syste restores,or internet cookies)
5. Disk Defragment(Advanced System Care 8)
6. Registry Backup(Manualy at the end of my every OS install i do 2 registry backups.1st is a registry backup for OS only and 2nd apart from OS includes Drivers.Any other software is excluded owing to the fact that many of the modify your OS registry without your notice)
7. Registry Defragment(Advanced system Care 8)
8. Double Check New Filles in the system(All new filles have been checked by executing them directly and observe the impact over my APM,curiously enoungh,one of the files caused my APM to go down to 16 APM(Nearly Freeze and slower than a human beeing)).Can't say if the filles were infected in the first place or if the virus just migrated onto other filles to keep its concealing.Several filles caused this problem so im not entirely sure
9. Observe the Results in Time(since Task manger dispays only the % of CPU used and that virus could have disabled 1 of CPU,I wouldn't have notice.Created a separate Batch(1 another program can't edit and if edited i'll notice immediately)) to track peformance.

I wish I can say more about this infection but I can hardly believe 2 TOP securitiy softwares had no detections on it and the virus was well programed.If you want I can open a session of TeamViewer and Inspect the system yourself,usually when i repair my system,everything is white-clean.

Boggin:
I've never used Teamviewer but because malware disinfection is such a specialized subject, the untrained may not even spot it even if they tripped over it - so to speak.

Tell me more about this APM.
