    Hi,
    2 days ago i have reveceived in back From deviltech support My notebook because i have a problem: strobe effect of My LCD with all colors!
    Ok, today i have tested this with FSX And After 5/10 minutes My notebook crash And switch off!!
    I have change the GPU driver to' the last version (gtx 285m sli) but the problem is not solved!
    With fsx i have Fly always for 2/3 hours without problems!
    Now i listen a sound And, up to the left i see an icon that write "normal"...."slow" with an image of the fan for many times And After crash!

    Did you check your temperature of the GPU?

    I have check the temperature with "CPUID Hardware Monitor" with Fsx in window mode.
    After 15 minutes i have see the temp of the core #0 at 85°C/185° F!!!
    In this moment my pc freeze and don't respond to any command and i have switch off with power button!!
    Why the temperature of the core #0 is so high and the other temps of cores #1 #2 #3 are around 50/60° C??

    I don't have never problems of high temperatures (in summer i play FSX for 2/3 hours), only now, after the deviltech support have take my notebook for assitence!

    Correcting the temperature:

    Core # 0: 99 ° C max
    Core # 1: 97 ° C max
    Core # 2: 84 ° C max
    Core # 3: 73 ° C max

    Then I get this "TZ0_" I do not know what is and is around 98 ° max.

    I believe that with these temperatures, the computer turns off soon!
    Yet with these temperatures, the CPU fan is not accelerated but takes a few seconds like 10 seconds high speed and then back to normal!
    Other times it remained at full speed as I turned on FSX!

    99 is not normal, it will fry your system sooner or later. shutting down is the only way the machine protecting itself.

    it should be around 70+ under heavy load, even 80 also kinda warning.

    what is the customer service of deviltech has to say about this?

    The customer service do not respond to my email! I dont know why!
    It is possible that they have changed my cpu with a brand new and have not applied enough thermal paste?
    Can I do anything?
