    Hi,

    When I play games like NFS Prostreet and Call of duty 4. Settings some on medium some on low. The notbook gets really hot ! I am wondering if this heating might cause a risk of damage or something ? or I shouldn't be worry ? And if I try to put the settings on higher, will there be a risk of damage to some part of the notebook ? I have no expereince regarding this issue. Any thoughts?? Please see laptop's specs in signiture.

    Thanks :)

    Read my guide for ways to cool down the laptop and safe limits.
    Running on higher settings will stress the system more, making it run even hotter.
