Gonna say the CPU is frying itself.
After leaving it off for ages is it faster then normal, then it slows down?

If yes, CPU frying itself. Laptop cooler + Thermal Paste.

Might be just dust. You should check on the thermal paste as well. A cooler without it is almost like no cooler at all.

Fix this ASAP.

If you run your laptop for too long without a cooling system on the CPU, you'll fry your computer. You say you're always on it? That means you'd hate to be without a computer :).


Try turning it off for half an hour to an hour then turn it on and see if it runs faster etc.

Or just check the thermal paste and cooler like the others said. If you don't know how, get it fixed or lose your laptop.

Do this, my lappys GPU fried itself 3 times because of this. Laptop store didnt believe me and after several people who knew what they were on about said the same thing to them they sent me a cooler and it remedied the problem a tiny bit, they forgot to add thermal paste to the cores.


You can do permanent damage if you dont fix it, if its under warranty take it back, if not take it to a lappy store.

Id fix it but i hate taking laptops fucking apart.
