Laptop Crashing.

Hmm. According to the HD 2600 Mobility specs, it has a thermal sensor on it. Lemme see if I can find something that should work.

Well, the only thing I could easily find is possibly this tool: http://www.driverheaven.net/modtool.php

You may have temperature readings in your Catalyst control center. You check there yet?

[edit] Ah, here ya go. See if this will show you the graphics temps: http://downloads.guru3d.com/ATI-Tray...nload-733.html

When I started playing WoW on my laptop it would overheat and die. This is going to sound really odd. Since there was nothing I could do about the ATI GPU chip overheating with wow running I simply put the laptop on a aluminum or copper cookie sheet. Having the laptop sitting on a cookie sheet allowed the heat to dissipate away from the bottom of the laptop where the gpu chip was located. Doing this allowed me to play wow without any heat issues.

A possibly obvious caveat: DO NOT do this if you have any exhaust or intake ports on the bottom of your laptop.

Of course My intake and exhaust ports are on the side.
