    [del]Nah, your temps are perfectly fine.[/del]
    One issue I take with your WEI score: it's faked. Vista only has up to 5.9 :p

    edit: saw downloads' post, looked at the gpu, and yes it's too hot. My bad :)

    I beg to differ- while temp of the CPU is hot but still within reason, GPU seems way to hot especially for such a weak card.
    I would recommend cleaning the vents and possibly opening the laptop and re-pasting with some quality thermal compound.
