Iv recently picked up a virus on my laptop, its ransomware type virus afaik, antivirus.NET to be specific. iv had virus's in the past and can usually handle them easy enough but the problem i have now is that when im starting my laptop up in safe mode with networking to run a scan to deal with the virus the laptop keeps overheating.
the vents are not blocked and theres no dust, after about 5mins of the scan the fan pipes up and gets quite loud then the laptop just cuts out, trying to rattle my brain to combat this problem but im coming up short, just short of running the scan and putting the laptop in the fridge
any had a problem like this before with overheating, is the laptop on its last legs now and should just splash out on a new one?
