  1. Take the laptop apart and check for dust, could be clogging your circulation when you need it most. Also, have you done any upgrades on the laptop? If so its a power issue.

    Example: was fixing a desktop with a 250 watt psu, plugged in a seagate external HDD and it fried the PSU LOL

    Edit: I know laptops do run hot, but 140 degrees when you're not doing anything is really hot bro... I'd be lucky if my desktop goes over 100 under load...air cooled. Like I said before, could be just needing new thermal material on the cpu, or dust clogging the fan. does sound like the cpu is shutting off under load

    I have not done any upgrades. I am very good with computers but I have never messed with a laptop. I've built desktops but I'm to nervous to touch my laptop. Should I take it to a shop and see if I can get them to blow-clean it out and put some new thermal paste on my cpu?

    blow out the heatsink of the laptop... also make sure the fan is actually still spinning. Small fans have a tendency to die.

    I have one fan in it and it's on the back. It is spinning and I know this because it has pretty warm air blowing out.

  2. title made me think it was gonna be a manufacturer asking us...i thought sundown at first :(

    That would'a been sweet as hell!

    I'm hoping to beat my 2 12" Type R's on 1000 watts I'm pretty sure it will its just most shallow mounts are recommended in sealed boxes so idk I'm looking at getting 4 of them depending on price. I have like 700 to spend but only room for shallow mounts

    I'll post tomorrow on how they sound if you want.
