    Hi all,

    I own this laptop with TL-60, 2G RAM, and 7950GTX SLi'd in a 20'' screen. I am constantly having a lot of trouble with it overheating. None of the laptop coolers fit this 20'' laptop and I have the laptop on bottle caps right now, with a small home fan constantly blowing at it. However, when I play games such as Oblivion/Call of Duty 4/Crysis, my laptop always shuts down on me.

    I know about the potential damage this could cause to my pc, besides the all the reboots and such. Any advice would be appreciated to help keep my system cool. Thanks!

    Clean your vents.The fact that it shuts down even when using a cooler proves that the heat as nowhere to go even with fan at full speed and just sit in the case...
    Somebody should really design a easilly removed filter for those things.
