    Hello guys,

    I just got my g73jw and it's been less than a week only.

    Everytime i play black ops, the laptop shuts down after around 1hr of playing..
    i dont think it's because of overheat. I run furmark for 20mins with 260.99 driver and OC setting of 800/1600/400 and it stays on 80F constant..

    anybody getting this same issue with black ops or some other high fps game?

    if anybody can help, will be gladly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    That temp is very low.
    I think you meant in Celcius

    I had the same issue when I overclock my GTX 460M past 760/1520/1250 and it only happens when I play Dead space 2, after 10min of playing my G73JW always shutdown itself. the GPU temp before a sudden shutdown was 68C... It doesn't happen at stock clock tho... it's just weird...
