    I have just had G73JW for a few months and never had problem when played NFS and COD black ops until just now. I was playing AOE III, MAX setting on graphic. After 5 mins of playing, all of a sudden my G73JW shut down......Could it be too hot? Im gonna turn my Temp monitor on and see how hot it gets

    Everything seems to work ok right now. No crashing after that. CPU runs 75 and GPU as well. So its not too hot. Bios and vBios are 08/05/10 and 07/27/10

    Dates aren't necessarily helpful :D

    If the temps you posted are while you're playing, they probably aren't the issue (AOE is hard on the CPU I suppose, mine never goes over 65 on load).
