Zoom Problems - AT LAST!

Right, I have figured out this long standing Zoom problem of cutting the Laptop out. It's increased recently to every day, which is a real nuisance.

The thing cuts out on temperature, but the issue is/was that the fan was only in 2nd gear (of 4) so it wasn't seriously cooling it.

That particular bit of the system is handled entirely by the BIOS. So I am left looking for
  • A problem in BIOS retention in memory, which I deem to be most unlikely.
  • An electronic problem in the laptop circuitry, which I am not chasing.
If it was a cpu cooling (e.g. heatsink fins clogged with junk) then the fan would speed up, right? But the fan stays slow.

Can anyone think of other possible causes? It's time to part company otherwise, because the laptop isn't worth it.latest?d=yIl2AUoC8zA latest?i=GkCO5TWBFaE:N48OQKhbnSg:F7zBnMy latest?i=GkCO5TWBFaE:N48OQKhbnSg:V_sGLiP latest?d=qj6IDK7rITs latest?i=GkCO5TWBFaE:N48OQKhbnSg:gIN9vFwGkCO5TWBFaE
