Hey guys, i just add another 2GB ram in my laptop. here's what happen:

Before adding 2GB: temp around 62-66 Degrees.
After adding 2GB: temp around 68-74!! Degrees.

i've tried removing the 2GB from my laptop just to check if it is the ram that causing the temp to increase. and yes. after i removed. it drops down to normal temp.

What's actually going on? and how do i resolve this?

Hello Sicknerd,
It could just the extra heat generated by the two new sticks, or they may of altered the airflow in the laptop.
Thats all i can think of, i suppose, because the system is working faster, it could generate more heat because of that.
Hope this gives you a clue, good luck and let us know how it goes.
