Laptop Heat

Laptop Heat?

I have a Lenovo z61t laptop and i gets to about 180 degrees F in about 4 or 5 hours of gaming, i know it can burn me but will it hurt my computer? basicly when should i turn it off?

1. If it can burn you, that's definitely too hot for a laptop. Check to see your cooling fan is working properly, or set up a fan to blow at it while you're gaming. If it overheats too much, it could suddenly shut down in the middle of the game to protect itself, and if it shuts down too many times that way, it could damage the machine.
2. You Should Buy One Of Those External Fan Cooling Pad To Put It On... Thats A Bit TOO Hott For a Computer! Things Could Be Frying Up Inside.
3. I just came across a site that sends you a laptop for free! I'm ordering mine right now, it's a Sony VAIO and it looks really hot!
