Thanks for the reply Boogieman, I too keep the fans in turbo, Fn F10, I also use a cooling pad. Still it overheats & shuts down software on high CPU use. I'm planning on redoing the AS5 I figure I'll get better at it with practice....

I have several pieces of software that will shut down if the CPU is worked at or near 100% for more than 4 or 5 minutes. In watching the heat via MobileMeter it reaches 49 to 50 C. Of interest to me, if I unplug the power supply the...

Update: Last night after the computer dropped the USB2 connection & reverted to USB 1.1, I took up the keyboard, disconnected the camera at the plug near the hinge point & reattached. The system saw it as new hardware & set...
