Wow awesome...Looks like my laptop needs a service..:(

@Elmer...I forgot to mention sth...I have uninstalled magiciso and magicdisc from my laptop as per your advice. :redface:

Well, I need to get back and check if the warranty still holds good. I bought the laptop last year august end. And I think I need to buy the extended warranty from sony vaio. Well I am not too good with dismantling and examining stuff and so I would prefer getting it done by someone...

Here are the screenshots that I took while I ran wprime. The core was absolutely flaming hot. And when the temperature got to around 99 degrees celcius, the screen froze and I got the usual bsod with the error code 0X00000F4. I have enclosed that screenshot as well. And followed by that, I got...

@Elmer, I will report back after updating all drivers and uninstalling the old graphics driver through driversweeper. ( i understood from your statements that driversweeper is used for uninstalling the graphic driver in specific. )

Hi nmsuk, thanks for giving gprime.exe...Atleast it helped me to figure out that my core is heating up too much. I followed your instructions. I pressed shift. Then the app started executing a bunch of threads. And I started monitoring my cpu and other temperatures through CPUID hD monitor...

@nmsuk, I tried running wprime.exe but it was just saying that it was "processing" and it went on and on and did not come up with anything. Maybe should I give it another try? Does it a long time for the results to pop out from wprime? @Elmar, Are these the only stuff that are appearing outdated...

As far as I can see, there is no dust blockage on the vents. And yes, I will run the application you suggested and send back the reports.

Hi Elmer, As you mentioned my Laptop settings in my user profile. Its not complete because I don't know how to get some parameters of my laptop. I used CPU-Z to find my laptop internal details and fill up my user profile. I have attached CPU-Z reports as well. Also I have attached the updated...

At the moment, I only updated a couple of things that @nmsuk mentioned such as 1) My HD audio drivers from realtek 2) AMD SATA drivers 3) Video drivers from raid site 4)I am having trouble to determine which network driver to download from realtek for amd laptop Also in general, I am having...

Well I did use the removal tool for kaspersky. So it was a clean uninstall. By the way, I have a quick question elmar. Is there an easier way to update drivers than checking that text file and manually checking the company site for the latest version? Because since I am far from being a techie...

Yup its good to get things clarified. Nothing wrong in it. :)

@Elmer, I was having avira for most part of the year. In between, I used KIS 2012 for one month. That's it. After that, I installed avira back. I haven't used two antivirus at the same time at any point.

@Elmer, oh Okay I have been having avira since I bought the laptop, but anyway I will try uninstalling avira and putting the microsoft's software. :p And yes I know that these dump files are really crucial. Having tough luck with it.

@nmsuk, Sure. I will update those drivers. Thanks for mentioning that. In the meantime, is there any other tests that I need to do?
