Recently, my laptop has started seriously screwing up whenever I play sc2 or watch anything full screen with Windows media player for an extended period of time (and by that I mean 10+ minutes), the computer slows down suddenly and then the screen just goes black. If i had something like WMP workin i would hear the sounds stutteringly for a little bit, then after a while of this it would just turn off after this if i try to restart It gives me a Blue Screen of Death™ and I have to wait 5-10 minutes before trying to turn it on again, otherwise it keeps BSODing me. I have no idea what to do with it, I bought it in the US but currently I'm back home in Bangladesh till like august. Noone here knows whats wrong with it, i assume it has something to do with the video card? The laptops underside has been seriously hot after each time this has happened PLS HALP T_T
I'll be trying that. I'm not sure if I can find any or if they are sold in bangladesh at all though... It didnt used to heat up as much, this problem only started recently, though in fact it may have been getting heated up and I didnt notice until now. The problem may be unrelated what i do know is that if i keep any program running that exerts stress on my video card, videos, games at some point it suddenly slows down to a crawl and then the screen goes black. after this if i try to restart It gives me a Blue Screen of Death™ and I have to wait 5-10 minutes before trying to turn it on again, otherwise it keeps BSODing me

just buy one if you can @_@
Don't listen to anyone on TL who says just buy it instead of making it. They are brainless, lazy people who can't read and do simple things themselves.
Try cleaning the fans... Just blowing some air through the heatsinks should already help a lot. It reduced my CPU temp from 95 to 70 degrees under load :D

crappy ones are that much.
all you need is a piece of plexiglass (or anodized aluminum if you can find/cut it) an old cpu fan and a 12v ac adaptor. here are some good guides on how to do it.
