Help needed please.

Hi everyone.

I currently own a Packard Bell EasyNote TJ65 running on WIN764.

It has Intel pentium T4400 processor, 4GB, 250GBHD

MY question is regarding the graphics card.(Nvidia GEforce G210M cuda 512MB)

I have been playing world of warcraft for the last month with no problems. Howver, yesterday I was playing and the computer simply shut down with no warning. I tried again and again but after 10-15 mins it did the same...shutting down.

I checked the comp temp whilst playing with Speedfan and when I turned on WOW the temperature gradually went up to 105c and shut down. So I am thinking what could I do to prevent this?

Is it the fan? because I have an under laptop cooler which constantly beats cool air in the base of the laptop.

Could anyone please help me as I am not as familiar with computers like some of you guys might be.

Hope to hear from you

Thank you

Check to see if there is dust build-up in the vents. Your symptoms appear to be heat related.

I will try tonight as last night I had no access to a screwdriver to take a look inside. I just know lots of people have had the same prob with WOW and they bought new GC's. I will post again later to inform what I find.
