    Rediculous. My fans are not blowing, and when running ONLY firefox, my GPU is running at a balmy 103 degrees celsius. I can boil water on this thing. My fans will not kick on, speed fan doesnt even etect them.

    Anyone have an idea what I should do? I bought this 4 months ago.

    Yeah. With the 7900gtx, I expect the temperature to be around 70 degrees, maybe a little higher, but I'm scared that 103 degrees will melt important parts of my computer. Once it gets that high, my games jump around and are buggy too... and I still am confused as to why my fans are not turning on.

    I don't know much about Toshibas yet, but it does sound a bit odd..... doesn't seem like even a card like that hsould be running so hot when it's not doing anything intensive (or that the fans wouldn't be turning on with the temps at that level). Might be a defect or something.

    Have you contacted toshiba support about it yet?

    Toshiba does not have chat support, which disappoints me. I'll have to send them an email and wait 10-20 days to get it back, probably. Is it SAFE to run it at these temperatures? I really need the use of my computer...

    I'm no expert, but that is undoubtedly way too hot. Your fan(s) may be defective. Try uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers for them (if there's such a thing). If you must use your computer, I would shut it down once it gets past 80 degrees celcius. If it's too hot to drink like coffee it's too hot for your computer.

    I hit 121 degrees today. My computer started freezing up, and this can't be good for it. Still, I need my computer as an engineer for homework, so I'm in a bit of a catch-22 here. I'm going to bring it for repairs tommorow somewhere.
