Hello forum members and pcspecialist dudes,
I have recently been encountering a problem with my Vortex II laptop; I've had it since January 2012 and it's never given me this (or any other) problem before.
When I play a game (e.g. Civ V, Diablo) the laptop will just overheat and turn itself off. Generally this happens after 5-10 minutes of play time. Tonight this happened on the Diablo login screen - not exactly high demand. It hasn't happened with Rome II yet, which is odd considering the high spec of this game and the length of time I have played for in the recent past (e.g. 2-3 hours at a go).
I have tried taking the back off and using an air duster to clean out the inside of the laptop; I did this only last weekend and it's still happening. Unless a whole dust ball has got sucked into my laptop while I wasn't looking, it seems unlikely that dust is the problem, although admittedly I couldn't see all the insides of the machine when I cleaned it out.
Please help!
