This ing computer seems determined to keep me from playing. j-whitt987 Send a noteboard - 06/05/2011 03:57:19 AM
I used a can of compressed air to clean my vents out and that seems to keep my laptop from overheating. Now, however, my game has frozen up three times in the last ten minutes. I can still do other stuff like surf the internet or browse files on my computer by ALT+Tabing out and doing stuff. This is pretty annoying. Any ideas for this latest issue?

Spock: I find that remark…insulting.

Computer is overheating while playing WoW. j-whitt987 - 05/05/2011 03:58:40 AM 897 Views
what're your computer specs? LadyLorraine - 05/05/2011 04:21:39 AM 656 Views
My old one would overheat playing SC. Turns out it just needed a good dusting (compressed air). *NM* Japhy - 05/05/2011 04:47:41 AM 293 Views
Almost certainly something clogging the fan. Get some compressed air and clean it out. *NM* Ghavrel - 05/05/2011 05:45:49 AM 306 Views
That's what I'd recommend as a first step. TaskmasterJack - 05/05/2011 09:34:10 PM 638 Views
There are a few things you can do. Aemon - 05/05/2011 06:07:03 AM 823 Views
Frankly, there's no way that a clean computer playing WoW should overheat, period. Ghavrel - 05/05/2011 07:35:23 AM 643 Views

It shows that WoW is not only bad for YOUR health, but also your computer... Zalis - 05/05/2011 02:25:01 PM 740 Views
I suppose I'll be picking up a can of compressed air after my English Final today. j-whitt987 - 05/05/2011 03:07:23 PM 691 Views
Just the vents should be fine. Aemon - 05/05/2011 03:41:08 PM 627 Views
