    And that's the story of how Inferno's laptop melted.

    From the main menu I started up the campaign, dicked around for a few minutes, went back, joined a player match online and then it went off. I imagine it was around 5 minutes.

    Could be because I had a ton of shit running in the background as well, like Chrome, MSN, etc.

    Only other game I've ever played on it was Knights of the Old Republic and that would run for ages. Although I only played about an hour of it before uninstalling it.

    Whoa, this is just with Chrome and MSN running. I wonder what the temperatures rose to when playing Gears.

    Your on a AMD Athlon 64 X2 QL-60 1.9GHz right? well even then that's a fair bit higher than my HP G60 Runs at and that's a Turion Ultra 2.2GHz.

    Quick fix is a match Stick and a can of compressed air. power down the laptop Put the matchstick so it stops the fan moving too much then take the compressed air and holding it upright blow a few short blasts into the Vents that should sort it out for a good while, since I assume you CBF to open it and clean it proper

    Yes. All according to plan.

    I got bitten by a wasp once. That's right the little fucker didn't even have the courtesy to sting me.

    Was about to open it just now, then realised how much I couldn't be bothered. Case never goes back on properly.

    It should be known though that I never switch this off, I just close the lid which puts it into sleep.
