It would seem when I run Source, and that one time I was simply on Audiotool, my laptop overheats and turns off abruptly. It's never done this before. Do I only need to clean the vents? Or is this POS finally dying?
Check your vents for any debris and dust, and does the fan stays off? If it does, it needs replacing.
Download HWMonitor and check the temps. If your GPU is getting above 100C then you've got some issues.
I know my girlfriend's laptop gets unbearably hot when she games. I bought her one of those laptop cooling pads but it's not helping much.

That's why I prop mine up on some books.
Thomas Covenant books to be exact. :smug:
But the vents look fine. It hasn't done that recently now. Maybe a power issue, maybe something was loose and then when I left on that trip... But I shall keep this in mind lest it happens again.
