    Ok, This took a while to figure out. I can run in safe mode and in stamina mode all day long, however when I switch to Speed mode after a few secs the screen goes black and the notebook just turns off. Anyone have any ideas? I am at a total loss. I have tried a complete restore and also tried Natius drivers. Any help would be greatly appreciated :confused: . Brian

    You shouldn't see more than 60 C. My desktop video card is at 45 C under normal use. Based on a google search through forums, it a video card should only go up to 100 C max. under continuous heavy use.

    There is definitely something wrong.

    Return, return, return if you ask me! I'd even call and hassle them about return shipping given it is faulty (in my opinion, it shouldn't be overheating).
