    This is probably a common problem, but my friend has a Gateway w340ua with a gforce go 6100 chip. It turns off after a while, probably when it reaches peak temps. The heat is on the bottom left upper side of the laptop. I assume it might be just a bad ventilator, but they have already send it in for repair once, and it was returned "fixed". Anyone have any clues? I might just open it up and see where the problem is.
