Windows 7 (and Call of Duty 5) causes Macbook Pro to overheat and crash

Is this normal, the fans don't seem to kick in and then probably 10mins in I get a BSOD and memory dump.
The area near the lid is too hot to touch but the fans aren't on at all.
I'm guessing I'm pushing my little Macbook Pro too far?!
Yours,
Chris

Turns out the fans aren't running on any version of Windows I install.
Decided to get rid of Windows altogether and stick to Mac games

    Are you using the Office for Mac 2011 version, as you need to do?  The Office for Mac 2004 is Not at all compatible with Mountain Lion, and the 2008 version has been noted to have some problems running with ML.
    Hope this helps

  • Call of Duty 4 on Macbook Pro stuttering?

    Hey
    I bought my Macbook Pro last Saturday and installed Windows XP with Service Pack 3. Everything went great, I also installed Bioshock, Assassins Creed, and Rainbow Six Vegas 2.. They ran great but not Call of Duty 4...
    The graphic are MAX out but I don't know why when I turn around in the game, its stuttering like if the framerate are trying to catch something, the sound is fine but the video stutter when i turn, any1 know why?

    Turn down the dynamic shading (shadows etc) this usually gets rid of frame lag

    Arnelche,
    which model MacBook Pro do you have? When you press the button next to your battery indicator lights, how many of them light up? Are you able to test your AC charger with another MacBook Pro, or to test another AC charger with your MacBook Pro, to make sure that your AC charger is working properly?

  • 10.6.3 Causes MacBook Pro to overheat.

    After I upgraded to 10.6.3, my MacBook Pro gets incredibly hot, then crashes with the message my 'Startup Disk is Full'

    I would theorize that some third party application or extension is continually scribbling errors to disk, causing both the excessive processor use and the disk to fill up.
    Check your logs using Applications->Utilities->Console for anything obvious.

  • Airplay causing MacBook Pro to overheat

    When I AirPlay video from the MacBook Pro to the tv, it overheats (fan goes like mad and won't turn off) but if I watch the exact same video on the monitor, it is fine. Do I have a setting wrong here, or is there something that I can do to help with this? The only time the MacBook Pro ever does this is when I send video through AirPlay - otherwise, there is no issue.
    Thanks in advance for any help that can be provided.

    Hello 25th Floor,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    From your post I understand that you're wanting to AirPlay from a Mac to an iOS device.  AirPlay mirroring from your Mac is designed to only function with an Apple TV.  Please see the following article for what is required to use AirPlay Mirroring in OS X.
    Requirements for AirPlay in OS X
    An Apple TV
    Apple TV (2nd generation or later) with software update v5.0 or later.
    AirPlay turned on in the Settings menu of the Apple TV.
    A supported MacAirPlay Mirroring in OS X takes advantage of the hardware capabilities of recent Macs to deliver high frame rates while maintaining optimal system performance. The following Mac models support AirPlay Mirroring when using OS X Mountain Lion or later:
    iMac (Mid 2011 or newer)
    Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer)
    MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer)
    MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer)
    Mac Pro (Late 2013 or newer)
    Which Mac do I have?
    A network
    AirPlay Mirroring requires either a Wi-Fi (802.11 a/g/n) connection or an Ethernet connection to the same local network that your Apple TV uses.

  • I would like to run a stock analysis program called Toolkit 6 on my Macbook Pro, but it only works on the Windows platform.  Is there software that allows me to run Windows applications on the Mac?

    I would like to run a stock analysis program called Toolkit 6 on my Macbook Pro, but it only works on the Windows platform.  Is there software that allows me to run Windows applications on the Mac?

    Yes it's MS Windows! You will need a license of MS Windows (preferable Windows 7) and from there you can decide on the strategy for running Windows on your iMac. You can use Boot Camp (you already have this) or you use virtualization software such as Parallels or Fusion. For your situation I'd recommend virtualization software. However for only one program I'd do some due diligence to see if there is a OS X version. You can start with the App store or simply use Google to search.
    Kappy has provided a good article on running Windows on a Mac and the various options. Here is the link:

    uhm hey guys,
    idk where else to get help so ima try here,
    i got windows 8 installed with bootcamp on my macbook pro late 2010 (5, 5) and theres no sound coming out of it, so i installed an nvidia audio driver (idk, it could be the incorrect one) but i have nvidia GeForce 320 on my macbook.

    but when i go onto my osx the sound is fine, so i figured im missing something on windows 8
    Orrrr could i just go out and get parallels and hope it doesn't get the same problems?

    lower your font size unless you have difficulty
    MS Security Essentials is excellent
    Then again maybe time to investigate Windows 8 RP (which uses Defender)

  • I don't have any sound and can't adjust the brightness Macbook Pro Mid 2009 with Windows 7 64bit

    I installed Windows 7 Professional 64 bit in my Macbook Pro Mid 2009 using Bootcamp 5.1.2 and from the beginning the sound is not working and cant adjust the brightness either. Tried installing all the drivers that people recommended from Realtek, nVidia and nothing has help me fixed the problem. is there a way that i could fix those problems?

    Look in the Boot Camp system requirements located here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634
    Find your computer model and year. I think you will find that you should be using version 4 of the Windows support software.

  • My macbook pro was repaired and since then i can't get nor photoshop or bridge to initialize. a window appears that says it has  initializing problems due to an icc profile issue.

    my macbook pro was repaired and since then i can't get nor photoshop cs5 or bridge cs5 to initialize. a window appears that says it has initializing problems due to an icc profile issue.
    there appear two error messages. the first one says that there has been a problem sincronizing because of a programme error. the second one appears after you clicked ok on the first window and says that photoshop couldn't be initialized because the icc profile is invalid.
    does anyone know if i have to delete any system or photoshop preference? the illustrator is also having troubles. thanks

    thanks! what finnally worked better was renaming the «settings» folder in te «color folder» in the library with ~before the name. now indesign is asking me for thw icc profiles but still works, so i asume i can reinstall color settings only for indesign and go on.

  • I have a MacBook Pro Late 2011 and I'm wondering if I install Windows 7 Ultimate to this MacBook Pro with this Full Retail Version. And if so, which bit to use either 32-bit or 64-bit since I have both disks.

    I have a MacBook Pro Late 2011 and I'm wondering if I install Windows 7 Ultimate to this MacBook Pro with this Full Retail Version. And if so, which bit to use either 32-bit or 64-bit since I have both disks.

    64 bit.
    32 bit won't use all your computer's ram.
    64 bit allows you to run 32 bit programs
    Your computer is 64 bit
    New programs use 64 bit.
    There is no reason to use the 32 bit version of Windows.
