Hi guys. I purchased an i7 quad core 64 bit last year and since last week, when I stayed up all night watching pr0n, :p, I started having battery issues, like it flashes orange and white (saying battery is fully charged, yet not recognizing the battery when I go to power options), which is easily resolved thus far when simply I turn off the computer, take the battery out, wait a few minutes, and put it back in. I don't know the exact nature of the problem and online sites are no help but I think it had to do with the computer being on 24/7 and watching so many videos so it probably got overheated.
Long story short, decided I better check the temperature and fan speed, and tried Speedfan but it does not detect any fans. Tried Hwmonitor, same thing. Same with OCCT. Don't know why. I had the same problem with my dual core old Inspiron. Fans were never detected. What is the problem?
Although I'm not even sure my problem is related to fans or temperature. I mean right now I have the flashing white/orange battery thing again but most core temperatures are in low 50s (C).
I installed Speedfan, that's where the temperature readings come from (but like I said, it won't tell me the fan speeds). Here's a printscreen of it just now, while I have firefox open and typing:
p.s. thank you for your helpful and prompt replies, I appreciate it.
