| 720768 | 2008-11-17 06:49:00 | When i play games like SPORE or Far Cry i get a BSoD after a while. I notice that the computer is very hot especially near the fan. My computer is the Toshiba Portege M500e running Win Vista 32 bit SP1 w/ 2gb ram 2.00ghz core 2 duo proc. 100gb HDD and Intel G-card. Exact same as blam6 :o Plz help me fix this problem :) |

| 720769 | 2008-11-17 06:54:00 | Can you tell us what the BSOD says or what the corresponding entry in the event logs is? | stormdragon (6013) | ||
| 720770 | 2008-11-17 07:01:00 | It says a bunch of stuff about shutting down now and down the bottom it says Dumping memory and it goes up in 10s (about one second each 10) untill it reaches 100 then it shuts down. | esayolay (13857) | ||
| 720771 | 2008-11-17 07:04:00 | Does it say the name of a driver / file? If its a stop error, whats the stop error say?? 0xxxx or something? |

| 720772 | 2008-11-17 07:29:00 | Time to clean out the dust from your laptop. The are notorious dust collectors and run close to the limit of heat dissipation. Any dust will push it over the boundaries and bang BSoD. Because they are running at full speed while playing games the heat problem usually shows up during hi graphics requirement games. Clean the dust out! |

| 720773 | 2008-11-17 07:36:00 | how exactly do you clean out the dust? remember i have a laptop plus i am inexperienced at taking them apart. :s | esayolay (13857) | ||
| 720774 | 2008-11-17 07:46:00 | If your unsure, Take it to a laptop specialist. | porkster (6331) | ||
| 720775 | 2008-11-17 07:55:00 | lol our laptop specialist is the school technicians, and i dont think they will be too happy to do that so i can play games :P. I think if i try and fix it somewhere else it will void the warranty. Ah well too bad. Is there any way to clean it without taking it apart? |

Is the laptop yours?.....cant see a school tech having a problem like that....they may teach you something....certainly no IT novice should be pulling laptops apart to clear dust....where are you playing?, on your lap?, make sure the vents have good clean air to cool the insides... |

Firstly, you haven't met our technicians. They are real lazy and if they fix that it will take ages and they will probably search my computer and find all my illegal stuff :D jk.... I am playing on a flat surface that retains no heat. The air vents are always clear. Although, this problem did first occur when i was playing with it on my lap, and since then it has being getting more and more easy to overheat... :waughh: |
