I can't even get into the game. I think its a steam defect. I wouldn't return a computer because of a crappy program (steam). I liked it better when they didn't use steam.

alright, then you may have to elevate your laptop. That provided proper ventilation.

mine doesn't overheat, it just crashes. although it works fine in half life. dod keeps saying i'm missing a wad file. then exiting. I really wanted to play dod, but if I can't I have plenty of other games to hold me over until dod 2. make sure you have the resolution for widescreen as well. I woder if i ran it as opengl if it would work better than d3d?

Alright I got it to work. I don't have the same problem. It ran very smoothly. In the settings set it to widescreen resolution 1280x800 I think.

It ran perfectly. Very dated graphics. I'm not very good at the game. I am pretty good at Dod though. Its possible that your as3 is too thick or that messed it up. See if it persists in other games. Then you will know if you need to send it back. I would change some settings to see if you can get it to run better.

well that's kind of a hot room. 61 isn't bad for the gpu. for some reason it works just as hard to on easier graphical games.

61 is the CPU..not the gpu....it is a hot room yea..i just had a restart...it froze...and restarted by itself...is that a sign of heat?...restarted by itself to prevent it from burning up?

no dude.. it was idle.. im guessing it was at the screen saver (windows 3d screen saver) and thats what would have prob pushed it to overheat.. cuz that damn screen saver DOES use ur vid card hardcore..

then... every time i rebooted it.. it would just crash and restart.. then i turned it off and let it sit.. and turned my overhead fan on (its already cold in here) and it circulated even more air and now its runnin like a charm again but yea dont use that screen saver if u have ur card overclocked.. i just learned the hard way.
