When you have it running all day is it at idle or are you really pushing it?
And what is the Idle temperture vs gaming temp? Was it elevated or laying flat?

Thanks

It has been delivered back to me this afternoon and is working fine now. It was at idle and then if you wanted to do anything on it it would overheat and shut down. The temp was going up as far as 83 before it turned off. Its now running at a cool 49 which is sweet. Havent tried any gamiong on it yet......watch this space...lol

Sky, very happy to read your lappy is back and more important working right now, mine seems to run about 93-95F on HD and about 105-115 on cpu depending on loads, but mine has never shut off on me, hopefully my ranges are somewhat "normal"

video meory upgrade

hey guys , i'm planning on buying a sentia but the only thing holding me back is the fact that it doesnt have a dedicated graphics card and inbuilt BT.
i checked out the specifications of the Intel chipset and it seems to support a seperate graphics card. so would it b possible for me to upgrade to a discrete graphics card once i've purcased it since AW doesnt give me da option.

tx .. tc
