    I have a notebook stand that puts the computer up at like a 10 degree angle. When i have it on this the fan is going full blast, no matter what. On top of that if I boot up starcraft it just turns off. no BSOD, nothing, just off. If is set it one the table, it does get hotter, but the fan is more reasonable and it won't crash. whats going on?
