Yep. I'm hoping a newer BIOS revision has better fan speed settings to prevent this, but I'm yet to try it out.

836893 2009-12-18 00:42:00 It may be overheating because its clogged with dust. You can dry clean the vents with a can of compressed air, but you will need to open up the later to really clean the heatsink.

If you don't know how-don't try, bring it to a qualified notebook technician.

Service+ are pretty good.

Yeah I might get around to cleaning it out one day but it is something it has done since day 1, so I'm convinced it's just poor design.

I really should try RMA'ing it, but I'm terminally lazy :sleep
