    Crash means what, turns off, reboots, blue screens, hangs? What comes on screen, what are you doing at the time?

    Have you scanned for viruses? Is it used on a flat surface or bed etc?

  • Doesn't sound like temp to me.
    Like DEVSTAR says the CPU temp is in the BIOS.
    What have you installed in the last week ?

    Quick-n-dirty way to find out is boot it up in the garage or somewhere cold and see if the same symptoms persist.

    Best way to stop a Laptop overheating is - take it off your Lap / bed / quilt /duvet

    i think the only thing i have installed is adaware as i was having trouble with AOL freezing and was advised to do this.
