Comp is suffering from heat exhaustion?

[GaryShandling]

im in the middle of a game of rise of nations and about 20 mins into it (on average) it shuts down and the monitor displays a "signal not found" message, i think its the heat...in london its 38 celcius, and the actual case is so hot i cant touch it for more then 2 seconds before i get burnt. i cant run any 3d app's....without it shutting itself off. what do i do?

Find a way to cool it... that's your only option.

If you can't touch the Case for 2 secs Then lay off , go get better Cooling and forget about the rest B4 the whole thing dies. I've done the same if that's the situation with the CPU's Heatsink let alone the Case!

Case ventilation is the answer 🙂

1 year old, its a HP with a thick plastic shield all over it (keeping the heat in) designed for familys protection

i cant open it up either, it would void the warranty and its the family comp so i dont wanna tamper with it.

You, sir, are screwed. The best suggestion i can give is to read a book.

Call HP and bitch. Better yet, burn yourself, sue, and buy a real PC with the settlement money.

YES! Leave it running after it crashed until the damn thing burns up, then bitch to HP and get them to send u a new PC 🙂 It'll prolly be better than the one right there anyway
