I've had my Lafite III for 1.5 years now and almost since day 1 there has been a general battery issue (sometimes Windows thinks that it has reached the critical 10% level and shuts down, and won't turn on until I put the charger in, even though there's 30%+ capacity left), whilst the laptop is often too loud to use (without distracting people nearby!) due to the fans spinning up randomly. I'm not sure if the 2 issues are connected.
I say the fans 'randomly' spin up because the system can be sat idle and the fans will kick in without anything running. Other time I do something harmless like install Windows updates or launch some software and the fans kick in again.
In terms of temperatures, I just kicked off some Windows updates and SpeedFan is showing Temp1 as 71C, and Core0-4 being 50-52C. CPU usage is around 15% and the fans are fairly loud.
Any ideas/suggestions? I've built my own desktop PCs before and I'm fairly competent with configuring Windows and looking through the BIOS etc, but I've never played around with laptop hardware - but I'm happy to take a look if needed.
Thanks!
