Younger Crayola Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 You can try setting your power options to a low power setting, although this means reducing the processing speed so you may understandably be reluctant. Other than that, your options are to either (or both) open up the thing and clean away any accumulated dust and other nonsense that's making it harder to move cool area around, or invest in a good laptop cooler from Amazon. Both my previous laptops had issues with overheating, and FM's a prime culprit given that it does an enormous amount of processing, working the CPUs hard. Laptop coolers solved both issues, but you do need a good one - not a cheap plastic tat with a pathetic fan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

forameuss Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 If your laptops overheating, it's very unlikely to be down to anything fixable in FM. It's an extremely intensive game, and my laptop will often heat up to the point it gives up if it's not put somewhere it can vent properly. FM12 made it run hot, but FM13 has seemed to heat it even more. To fix it, like others have said either open up the laptop and clean out the fans in case they're blocked or invest in some kind of cooling for the laptop. There's no real "software" fix, other than gating the laptop so it physically can't run as fast as FM needs it to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgar555 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 You might want to try something like game booster. My laptop is below spec and suffers also from overheating. Using game booster helps significantly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using game booster helps significantly. That's true. It also gives you some handy information on exactly how hot each part of the system is getting. Of course, usually you can tell if the laptop is burning a hole in your thighs... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

edgar555 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 How good is this game booster? and what version are you running? I'm running the latest version, 3 I think. It's a good program. Like I say my laptop is under spec and it runs well enough, with minimal leagues obviously but good enough. I've used it for last 3 FMs with no issues.

I did a search and found other people with the same laptop, a Lenovo Y550, encountering the same problem while playing other games. Their answers were to upgrade the BIOS drivers (found on your computer manufacturer's website). Did that and I've yet to crash again. But I haven't gone through many matches either.

drevil1969 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 speed booster is very good. I had over heating problems on my laptop playing fm12 but I just downloaded fm13 demo and it was getting hot (the laptop, not fm13) so I downloaded speed boost and it appears to of made a big difference Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SazoJohnno Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Why dont you buy a laptop fan cooler. Put the laptop on top of it and just slot the USB wire in your laptop, the fan will stop it from overheating. I have one and it works wonder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
d d Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 I have notice that my fan stays on permantley, where on FM12, that game did not do this. It seems its getting more hot with this version than the previous one. The specs from both games were much similar. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is excellent advice. Installed Game booster, Laptop fan still going crazy when playing a match. Thought maybe gonna have to invest in a laptop cooler. Updated my BIOS, just played a two hour FM session with no trouble at all. Cheers Harper Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
d d Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Did the Bios stop the fan going crazy, because mine is at the moment? Thank You Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stewart91 Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Did the Bios stop the fan going crazy, because mine is at the moment?Thank You Sure did. Go to the start menu and type msinfo32 assuming you are running vista/7. Under processor it will give you you're current BIOS. Next go to the manufacturer's Website to see if there are any updates, mine took 2 mins. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomit Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 If laptop is overheating, fix it the proper way. Clean out dust and dirt inside, and don't forget to clean fan blades - an often overlooked area, but there's not a lot of dirt that needs to be accumulated on the fan blades themselves before they start to get seriously un-efficient. Other than that - FM has always been a game that makes the processor generate a lot of heat, allmost constantly. So FM will be one of the tasks where people will notice un-efficient cooling the most - either as the result of a poorly designed cooling system, or because of gathered dust and dirt.

drevil1969 Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 I didnt fancy opening up my laptop so just used a air compressor on the vents, nothing seemed to come out though and laptop stayed hot. Might ask for a laptop cooler for xmas though! Just gonna have a look at bios Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
d d Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 i just updated the Bios and now the fan is not going crazy. You still hear it but not as loud. Like Stewart says, it was going crazy when playing a match. Now its a bit quieter. Thank You Harper and Stewart, it seems to be working good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RvN#17 Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 I'm using the desktop PC and last night when demo finished downloading I started the game and my HDD started going nuts, and started producing all kind of sounds. Eventually I had to turn off FM and it stop immediately. Also my fan was going crazy too, I could heard it in the other room. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
