Hello I dont know if this is the right place for this, but I do need help.
I have a Dell inspiron 9400 with
2048 MB Ram
Pentium M Dual core 1.83 Ghz
100 GB 7200 Rpm HD
Geforce go 7800 256 MB
Until recently i have been able to run 3 clients of Eve (Classical) and even play a DvD using VLC
That puts me very close to 100 percent cpu load and.
No problem whatsoever with that.
It all started 6 months ago or so, my adapter broke down.
I cut it open and fixed some faulty wiring, after that it started to make this weird buzzing sound. It is supposed to convert the electrisity from ~ to - but i believe it has problems with that. Hence the buzzing sound.
First I had to replace a battery that died, 5 months later I had to replace another battery that died. So now im running a experiment. I am not using batteries at all.
Once a while the adapter gets so damn hot. Its probably 60C - 70C. When it reaches a certain limit of heat it turns off for some reason and the computer dies.
That also only happends when i play with 3 clients and watch a Dvd or something like that. I think the adapter have got serius problems converting enough electricity..
What can the problem be. And how can i solve it? Im looking for hotfixes here.
Pardon my bad english. I dont have time to check for spell errors and bad grammar. The adapter is hot and I will once again loose connection.

Ive kinda fixed it. It refused to power up the minut it went down after i made this post.
The old adapter was 19,5 V 4.62 A
I got a new multi adapter thats 16 - 24 V with 6A
Currently im running it at 19 V with 6A. So working fine, No noise or error messages coming from the computer.
It uses 100 percent cpu alot for some reason.. Any ideas why?

So what youre saying is that i should untick affinity 1 on both the exe files? that will let them share 1 core, while the other core is for windows etc...
Well the cooling isnt a problem really. It has 4 fans. The only problem is when dust gathers there or if you have it isolated in the bottom.
My 9400 is placed upon 4 little blocks, it is elovated from the table with 10 cm. And i usually blow out the dust and stuff from it with compressed air. No i dont use those compressed air boxes wich sucks. Im using my work compressor wich also has a air drier and double filters so nothing but air comes out. Not even moist.
The new adapter is working out great btw. It is not making that weird buzzing sound, and it is not getting hot..
