Situation
Toshiba notebook with an nVidia 7900GS and an Intel Core Dual overheats after about 40 minutes of hardcore gaming, screen turns solid white, sound still works, have to power it down and wait for it to cool off before I can turn it on again. Toshiba will force me to pay a service charge if they cannot reproduce the problem. I am wiping the hard drive before sending it back in.
The "white out" only occurs during heavy 3D gaming and then it takes about 45 minutes at that. I need the freeware 3D stress test installed when I ship it back to them (do not want to send in any of my purchased software on it). IIRC, the last 3Dmark that allowed one to set the resolution to max and to loop it (without paying for it) was 2001SE. Any ideas on what I can install on it and instruct the technicians to loop for 45 minutes to reproduce the heating problem?
Windows or Linux based would be fine.
Thanks
