    Hello. I was wondering if any of you might be able to help me with the following problem:

    I've had my 1802 for several months, and I've noticed that sometimes when I run games on the machine, the laptop just shuts down in the middle of the thing. I don't mean a programme crash; I mean to say that the entire laptop just shuts itself off, and then I've to turn it back on. Not being a hardware expert, I can't begin to guess what on earth is wrong with the sucker. I'd say it was temperature-related, only I've had my laptop temperature go much higher than this on other machines without suffering shutdowns and I've got external fans that seem to help with the heat dissipation pretty well, so I'm completely at a loss here. Any light you guys can shed on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
