Have you serviced it? That normally relates to overheating?Looks like I need to replace my Vortex IV Elite sooner rather than later...

It's been crashing every time I try to run a game for a week now. Today this started happening.
Ah, you've got a replacement on the way then. Still could just be overheating if you wanted to hand it down.I cleaned out the fans a couple of days ago after a couple of crashes, they were a little matted between the fan and the vents. I had it re-pasted less than a year ago.
I just ordered a replacement (Defiance IX) within the last hour!
Does sound like the GPU has failedOoh, it's booted up in 1024x768 rez... I think I'll leave it switched off until the new machine arrives.
I repaste once a year as with any laptop. It's like it was new, still use it every day.@SpyderTracks I see you are also running a Vortex IV. How is yours holding out? Have you had it re-pasted since it was new?
