    Everytime I play lost planet extreme condtion colonies for about 5 mins the laptop turns off by itself. When I turn it back on again I get this "Your system automaticly powered off because it became warmer then expected. If this problem recurs, please call dell support with error code #m1004." Is the motherboard about to get fried? When I play other game it doesnt happen like dead space. I still have complete care, xps tech support, and next business day support. Should I call dell to fix this or is there another solution? I checked the fans and everything is clean and working.

    Have your actually checked the temps on the machine whilst playing your games? If they aren't actually getting terribly high, it's probably not a simple problem. In general, though, if you're under warranty, you should just call Dell. No point in mucking around yourself and accidentally voiding said warranty.

    When you checked the fans did you open up your machine? If not you probably have dust bunnies in the GPU heatsink. Open it & clean the vents from inside. Had that problem before & I solved it by cleaning the vents.
