    Hi
    I have the Dell studio 15z 1569, which is a Best Buy blue label model, comes packaged with Netgear's Push2TV wireless adapter(PVT1000) Intel wireless display. I updated the critical driver thru the Netgear site, as suggested in the instructions that come with it. It was very smooth for the first few plays, but now it makes my computer heat up in a big bad way. I've had no heat issues with the laptop - only when using this feature. Can't even get through a 30-minute episode without it overheating (super hot) and then it freezes or shuts down. I'd like this thing to work and I really don't want the heat to damage my computer. Anyone else had this issue? Any suggestions? It comes with an HDMI cable, but maybe I need a better one? Is there something else I should update?
    Many thanks.
