    Hey i got the laptop in my sig and i live in Thailand so room temp is about 30 C at least. Last night though i played the MMORPG "Perfect World" which is Asia's answer for WOW. The game features great graphics is everything is maxed so i cannot max it but i tweaked it nice so i get good image and playable FPS.

    Anyway after 5-6 hours gaming last night my system just restarted itself. Nothing more happen and after that i just entered the game again for another 2-3 hours and everything worked good. Before it restarted i saw signs of a blue screen for 1/10 of a second. Anyone know what could have happen here? I was playing on my desk with good airflow by the way so nothing was blocked.

    Another issue i hav is that whe i played for a few hours the game seems to get slower and more laggy, maybe because its to hot?? ;O

    Okay, do you OC? Plus, after 6 hours of gaming, the card will get very hot.

    The Processor coulda overheated too. I'm just throwing out ideas, but I think it was too much gaming for too long.
