    did u try any of the hardware monitoring tools to find whether temperature or voltage surges are causing the problem. did u try to clean lint and dirt off the heatsink (this may sometime void the warranty). use HW monitor or everest to track your temperature and post them here

    Updated with my temps, I don't really want to crack it open and void my warranty, but it's only been a month or so since I got it back so there shouldn't be that much lint in the heatsink.......unless they didn't clean it.

    I think the GPU's the problem because it's 72-73 just idling browsing on Mozilla.

    Now I'm almost completely sure it's a GPU problem. It just jumped to 80-83 C just from opening steam......I guess when I start a game it probably goes 90+.

    That's not normal even on the 570M and you have the 140M. I don't even get 80C when I game. I think a call to depot is in order...

    Ugh......at least the card with the broken fan before cooled it.....now a working one doesn't even really work!? I thought I'd be able to get some gaming in before I had to start making guides for my mid-terms next week! :mad:

    Eh.....I can get it all the way up to 85 C just by moving the Steam screen around the desktop! Something is really messed up.......
