    My 8940 is a little over 1 years old now, and it's heart-breaking to see it shutdown due to overheating in games like NBA2k11. I know it's over-heating when I see my GPU going 99oC. I have sent it in for repairs but still the same problems, and the technicians broke the powersmart button and the USB port close to there.

    I am using a cooler, and no I haven't done any dusting of the vents. However, I was assured by the tech rep at Acer that my laptop will be cleaned when they examine it. What else can I do?
