    I bought the 5312 about 6 months ago and really like the value and features of the notebook. I did not buy it to game on, but tried playing Counter-Strike and it was able to run it fairly well for a few months (wirelessly!). After a few moths of doing this the computer began shutting down (turning off) on me after about 20 minutes of play. I assume that it is getting too hot. Anything I can do about this? Not that I need to game on the laptop but it sure was fun being able to play anywhere in the house.

    Thanks
