    I was playing Alliance of Valiant Arms yesterday and my whole computer just shut off after like 15-20 min of playing. Im under warranty and have contacted Toshiba. They are going to fix it, but what are they fixing? Is it possible i blew out my graphics card? And if i did, they dont sell my model anymore, would they replace it with a newer model?

    Thanks
    JRog

    Chances are you either blew the power supply, the motherboard, or the GPU. You might not get a new computer...they do keep parts on hand for repairs or they might be able to repair it.

    The computer blew up as a result of you typing "ijji" for a thread title.

    That's actually the name of the company that made AVA.

    @OP: What temperatures are you getting, especially when gaming? Check using HWMonitor, download and run, from the link in my signature.

    Don't clean the fans. Just give it to toshiba. You don't want to mess up your warranty.
