    I just downloaded counterstrike source to my t61 and ill play for a bit and then it just randomly just shuts my computer down...then ill be able to restart and play for hours and it'll be fine. Why is this happening and how do I fix this? Is there an automatic shut down set up for when it hits a certain temperature? (which doesnt make any sense anyway)

    thanks,

    Mark

    download tpfancontrol and check the system temperature (GPU and CPU).
