    Here we go, I own acer aspire 8930G with T9400 CPU 2,53 Ghz, 1033Mhz,
    4gb DDR3 mem 1033 Mhz, and finaly 9700M GT Grafic card, 512mb DDR3 ....
    I have huge problem with overheating. In first 2 weeks my lap top was working without problems, and after that my overheating nightmare begun. Sometime i dont have that problem (If at home is could) But if outside is 30c like now even my Note Pall can not help me. I playing only Eve Online, (Because of that game i bought this lap Top) and i tryed some other games like call of duty 4 (same problem) GTA4 (same problem)
    I paid this lap top 1800 euros 9 months ago, and now i thinking about selling it and buying some other. Just that i cant get good price for it, and i would do anything to fix this overheating problem. Any1 ideas about it?
    Would be very thankful for solution.
    Ps I am pretty nob, i am not Pc Profesional, Just know how to instal windows, find drivers and things like that.
    Thanks

    Have you actually monitored temps already? Which programs do you use?

    One thing you could do if it's still under warranty is you could bring it to Acer and let them know, they might need to re-apply AS5 or something into the CPU/GPU, whichever is overheating.

    Also, if you use the laptop never cover the exhaust fans behind/at the sides and the intakes under the notebook! This happens when you use the notebook over mattresses, pillows, clothing, and even your lap. A friend of mine actually fried his motherboard after leaving the laptop running overnight over his bed.
