    Hello, I use an Aspire 8945G with a ATI 4370 mobile GPU.

    This summer it started crashing this way during 3D games: the screen goes black, then starts turning red, green, blue, gray scale e so on.

    I thought it could be for high temperatures and I logged up to about 80°C at crash instant.

    My questions are:
    - the screen going rainbow can be due to high GPU temp or there must be something else wrong?
    - is it normal that the system fan does not accelerate? It stays at same speed; just after restating my pc after crash, it speeds up for a while, but then slows down again

    Thank you a lot!
