While playing games computer feels somewhat hot to the touch is it going to burn out?

Hi while playing games I feel like my macbook is going to burn out because the bottom feels somewhat hot to the touch from playing games for about 15 minutes I don't want my computer to get ruined from this unless it can't but is there any way to keep it cool, It's brand new 8 gb of ram and 2.9 ghz processor

You could use a cooling pad - with or without fans. But it's normal for MacBook Pros to heat up when playing games. Your fans should rev up as your MBP heats up. If it gets too hot, you'll experience a thermal shutdown before anything can be ruined - but I doubt that you're even close to that!

After upgrading to latest IOS while playing games screen is flickering

While playing games screen is flickering after upgrading to latest IOS.

I have taken it out of the case - I figured it would obstruct the sensor (also have no screen protector).
Only thing I haven't tried from the Basic troubleshooting steps you mentioned was to "restore as new".
That I did try it tonight (succesffully restored), BUT my problem still exists.
You mentioned to go in the MAC store > Would they replace it (for free) if they reach the conclusion it's some sort of manufacturer faulty wiring even if it's a 3Gs (as an old model)?
Would they still if phone had water damage (this I'm just curious - the phone didn't)?

Satellite A500-17x restarting while playing games

Hello,
I got this laptop for christmas, and have recently purchased games through steam, it is then when I came to play Call of Duty 4 that the laptop just randomly restarted itself. At first I thought that it must of overheated, but then it was not hot at all, and had only just been switched on. I then thought it could of been the game conflicting with the computer, so I tried other games such as Counterstrike: Source, no luck it still randomly restarted. Ive played for hours without it turning off then other times just minutes. The laptop is ok when im just surfing the internet etc. but restarts when playing games. I have read other forums expressing the same problem, but have yet to find a solution. I have updated the display drivers from the Toshiba website, from nVidia but still not working.
Please Help :)

I believe I know the solution.
I've been looking over this forum for a few months with the same problem, looking for developments that might help me solve mine, so I feel it right that I should post here telling you how mine's fixed.
I sent mine off from where I bought it (PC World) for repair, twice. The first time all they did was clean out the fan, but sending it back with the same problem, they changed the motherboard, also known as the mainboard, and it seems to have fixed the problem. I have evidence why this is so from wikipedia. Some of the major functions of a motherboard are:
- slots for expansion cards (these interface to the system via the buses supported by the chipset)
- power connectors, which receive electrical power from the computer power supply and distribute it to the CPU, chipset, main memory, and expansion cards.
I always assumed with it switching off on the AC power supply WHILE PLAYING GAMES, there must be some sort of problem with the link between the power and the "expansion cards" e.g graphics and video cards, and it seems that this "link" is indeed the motherboard, so in manufacturing, it sure seems like the model of the motherboard used by Toshiba may have had a minor fault for the model that causes this shut down, unfortunately.
So far there has been no problem using the laptop while playing games, and it seems to be all fine so far!
I hope this answer helped a lot in sorting out your problems, good luck and happy gaming! :)

PC suddenly restarts while playing games MSI 660Ti Power Edition OC 2GB

Hi,
I have the following problem since I replaced my graphics card (before 9800GTX+, now MSI 660Ti Power Edition 2GB) I got 3 random restarts while playing games. The computer is not overheating, the CPU's temperature is around 58-59 degrees after running prime95 for 3 hours. The graphics card temperature is 70 degrees after running furmark for 1 hour, the stress tests never failed, just when running games. The computer has been stable. For case cooling im using (2X12cm front, rear 1X14cm below 1X12cm and above 1X12cm +1 X14cm).
I got two random system restarts while playing Doom 3 BFG and one system restart after playing Wolfenstein for 4 hours. The PC just restarts itself.
What could be wrong? I have no more ideas? Should I replace the CPU cooler (im running the stock CPU cooler but all stress tests dont show overheating?!)
Is it possible that the PSU is the reason, but it should be strong enough ...
The system:
GA 870A-UD3
AMD Phenom II 1090T (cooler box)
MSI GeForce 660Ti Power Edition OC 2GB
12GB RAM (12GB Kit 3X4GB DDR3 Kingston Genesis 1600)
Samsung 256GB 840pro
WD Blue 500GB
Thermaltake Thoughpower Q-Fan 750W PSU
Housing NZXT Source 210 Elite
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
Thank you.

The temps for the graphics card are quite normal. I have the same one and under load it will go to 70 to 75C, depending on ambient. What Nvidia driver are you using? Did you do a new driver installation?
If I look at your CPU though, then you are very close to the max CPU temp and throttling may invoke the shutdown http://products.amd.com/en-us/DesktopCPUDetail.aspx?id=640&f1=&f2=&f3=&f4=&f5=&f6=&f7=&f8=&f9=&f10=&f11=&f12=
62C is max.
Could also be your PSU that's not completely stable and continuous power draw may cause Overcurrent or overtemp protection. Speculating here as to probable causes.
Another possibility is your RAM. That should normally be paired in 2's. Have you tested with only 2 modules ? Remember we don't support that MB here, but its just another test I would run. But you would know, probably having run it like that with the previous GPU.

HT1688 My iPhone 4s battery got drained while playing games, and now it won't open even if im charging. what can i do?.

My phone's battery got drained while playing games and now it wont open if i connect it to my charger,?.what can i do? my phone was given to me as a gift from the a relative in the US and im from the Philippines. How can i fix it? Do i need to bring it to any apple center to have it replaced? or is there a quick fix to this problem?...

Keep iPhone on Wall Charger for 10 minutes, it may turn ON itself. If still OFF, keep on Wall Charger and Reset, hold both Home and Power buttons until the iPhone begins to start, this can sometimes take about 20 seconds time of holding both buttons while on charger.

S890 screen turns off while playing games

I bought this phone a week ago.Everything about this phone is awesom except one thing. The screen turns off while playing games automatically,which is really annoying. Is there any fix for this??

Graphics card springs to mind;
also, in your game settings, in either options or video settings (or similar). Are the settings correct for your card. I know on a low end PC, "full hardware acceleration" can cause crashing.
I'd still think, it's more a graphics related problem. If you have a big flat screen mintor (e.g 24,27 or even 30") then that, in it's own right needs a good card. Add the game to it and you may have problems. I do take it you have compared the specs with what's required on the box (of the game) and "about this mac/"more info"). All the best.

FF 3.6.6: No .sol-files created while playing games on Kongregate?

Ever since the update to 3.6.6 FF has not been creating any .sol-files (or the accompanying folders) for saving progress while playing games on the site Kongregate.
I have checked the Global Storage Settings panel of Flash and they are as they should be.
I have tried deleting and re-installing both flash and FF without result.
.sol-files are being created while using IE.
I'm using fully updated XP.
I'd appreciate any help, TIA

That indeed might be the problem!
The slider is mysteriously on the none-setting at that particular tab!? (any guess as to why? I certainly haven't touched it!)
I have tried putting it on unlimited, but it keeps returning to the none-setting after I switched tabs. This only happens on that particular tab, changes I make on other tabs are saved normally.
Any suggestions on fixing this?

After iOS7 update while playing game iphone 5 overheat in just 2-3 mins. How to fix this problem?

After iOS7 update while playing game iphone 5 overheat in just 2-3 mins. How to fix this problem? Before upgrade to iOS7 I used to play game for hours and never faced this problem. This is specially when I play HayDay.
Please advise.

Buenas, otra vez. Terminé resolviendo mi problema instalando el AE CC. que no es lo que quería en principio pero al final lo que me importa es poder disfrutar del programa. el único problema es que gracias a la tarjeta gráfica que trae mi modelo de MacBook, no podré disfrutar de la opción de trabajar los gráficos en GPU sino únicamente en CPU. ya que para trabajar en GPU necesito el complemento CUDA que mi tarjeta no lo puede utilizar. igual seguiré buscando respuestas a mi caso por la web y otros foros.
Hello again. I ended up installing AE CC to fix my problem. although that was not what I was looking for but at the end all that matter is to enjoy the software. The only unsolving issue is that I won't be able to enjoy the option of working graphics in GPU mode due to my graphic card. It needs CUDA and intel doesn't support it. I'll keep on looking for answers to my trouble with AE CS6 in the web.
