    Hi guys,
    I have an M1530. After half an hour or so of Call of Duty 4, my graphic card's (not overclocked) temperature (measured with GPU-Z), WITH A COOLER is 90 oC! I am pretty sure it is too warm for the laptop and i think it might be the fans inside my laptop that are malfunctioning. I had a friend who had an m1710 that he returned to Dell because the fan was not working, is it my case?
    While gaming, the card downclocks to lower temperature, that shouldn't happen at stock speeds!

    What should I do?

    Thanks!
    Sam
