    Try a laptop cooler , monitor your temps more . If the problem persists try exchanging your pc for another laptop .

    Um, 105C? Yeah, that is pretty bad... sorry to say, but things are usually cheap for a reason. See if updated drivers does anything for you, otherwise, looks like another trip to BB.

    Well considering i have the same notebook(well dort of) its perfectly fine.....

    Jack up the back of the notebook and let it tilt that will drop the temps by alot. Game while doing this and see if it stops the freezing.

    sometime i got 68 C then it like about half an hour but not exactly half an hour sometime more than that it going up to 102 then the higher is 105.

    but if not too much effect on the game , like smoke, fire etc. it running smooth.

    it's not like my 3th laptop (right now 4th laptop) if u got 105-110 it's lag like low fps but dont ever freeze. u got stop palying game until the temp go down below 80 u can play again and it become normal.

    But my 4th laptop right now, when i got 102-105 C it still run smooth not really lag like the 3th one. before my GPU driver is 179.24 right now i update to 186.03

    your temp never more than 80 C?
