    There seems to be something wrong with my Alienware m9750. I bought it about uhh lets say a year ago. It has ran awesome for me the past year but a problem has occurred. I can start up my notebook(m9750) it will start fine, then after 5 min to 30 min in between the fans will run at high speed and it will click off. Then when you go to turn it back on it will turn on for 3 seconds then shut off or it will start fine again and shut off between 5 to 30 min. I monitor the Temps with Rivatuner and NHC to see if it is a Temp. problem. at Idle I'm around 48C for CPU, 33C for HD, and 63C for GPU. Can someone please try and help me it would be much appreciated. Thank You!

    Notebook Specs:
    Alienware M9750
    1.66GHz
    1 GB of RAM
    1x nVIDIA GeForce Go 7950 GTX
