Hi there There've been some overheating problems recently on my new ASUS notebook (X555LD series on Windows 8.1 64-bit) and ASUS Tech support have advised me to update my BIOS to the latest version. I did so, but also I investigated their support page with lots of downloads and found there was an update for Intel Dynamic Platform & Thermal Framework Driver (V7.1.0.2105 from 2013/12/26) On the other hand, there is a newer update of Intel Dynamic Platform & Thermal Framework Driver, which I have found on Dells' support website - Version 8.0.10002.14, A00, 29 Jul 2015 Is it advisable that I download and apply a new update from Dell's site? Thanks
Dell drivers are usually specific for Dell platforms, so it may work but it may not. I would either look on Asus' site, or Intel directly.
Here is the latest version from intel 9/14/2015 version 8.1.10604.207 station-drivers.com/index.php?option=com_remository&Itemid=352&func=download&id=1830&chk=9adcb405e6c785e4a2576b1f8e733037&no_html=1&lang=en
