    I don't know if I'm going crazy, but I swear when I first got my laptop there was a setting in the BIOS for temperatures to beep and shutdown at. If I remember right I thought it was a little high and set it to about 70 to start warning.

    I've found one particular game that seems to make the CPU run hot (BFBC2), start beeping, and eventually shut down. The only trouble is I had updated my BIOS to a version without that temp control.

    I'd like to find that old BIOS so I can edge it up to 80/85, but so far having tried 10, 13, 18s (sager), MySN 12GH and a few others I can't recall, I havent found that temperature setting.

    Does anyone have it? If so, what menu is it under? Could it actually be a windows app I've weirdly recolored in my head into a BIOS setting?

    (I've also reapplied thermal paste etc, but it hasn't seemed to make more than 2-3 degrees difference in the temps - I guess its reasonable to want to be over 70C at full load without shutting down)

    Wow. You're probably quite in a bind with that one. There should be a Clevo old BIOS thread or so here on this forum, you could ask for it there. And next time man, disable the temp alarm entirely... notebook GPUs and CPUs are built to get hot and take heat. Unless you're getting over 90's and into 100's, then temp ain't going to bother you much.
