Sky,

Did they say what the problem was (just curious)...

You would think in their 200 point thing they would catch it overheating...

Did a fan connector come loose in shipping or something...

They said that they had to put some more thermal paste on the cpu which i find bazarre... They also said that it had been on all night and had not overheated but we will wait and see...

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"
