Hi, I ve just bought a Gateway p6860fx Laptop from bestbuy but, in two days it shut itself down 3 times while I was playing 3d games or using 3dmark2006. First, it seemed obvious that the problem is overheating, however even though I am perfectly sure that no air inlet/outlet is blocked (the last time it happened the laptop was upside down) it still happens. Moreover, I frequently check the temperature of the unit with my hand (any suggestions for more reliable ways to do that?) and the temp at the times that it shuts itself down is not significantly higher than regular operating temperature. My old laptop, used to overheat a lot but still work, but this one is way more cooler than my old laptop even at the time it shuts itself down.
