    i bought this laptop 4 month ago and whenver i played 3d intensive like counterstrike source or world of warcraft, it would freeze up and i would have to turn it off with the power button. Im thinking this happens because something is getting hot inside the laptop because when im playing, the fans are always on. Is this a driver issue? Or is this a hardware issue? if so if i get a notebook cooling pad, will it solve my problem?
