    Hey all I have a problem. Recently I've noticed that my laptop just shuts down randomly due to heat. I opened her up, clean her out, and still get the same problem. I heard the IBM uses great cooling techniques and I have yet to have a problem until about a week ago. I have Winamp, WoW, and Ventrilo open when this happens which I normally always have running. I also have a Zalman Laptop cooler always running on high speed.
    My specs:
    Vista Business x64
    Intel C2D 2.6
    Nvidia fx 570m
    4gb RAM
    200gb HDD

    I really dont want to send her out for fixing so a solution that does not require this would be great....otherwise ill have to bear through it lol. Thanks in advance

    That thread sort of loses it when they demonstrate that they don't know the difference between a 32 and a 64 bit operating system.

    Heh! true enough, and it is a very long thread, but near the end of it Mark describes the problem that Lenovo identified, and posts a replacement program for specific planars...
