I have now almost one month my new laptop. These are the features:

RAM: 8GB DDR3 Memory
HDD: 640GB + 120GB SSD
Graphics Card: AMD Radeon HD6850M, Up to 4083Mb Hypermemory

Usually I should be able to run Pro Cycling Manager 2011. Even at the highest settings. But when I ride a race I have a problem. The fan seems to vibrate / rattle. And after a while, the laptop is off. He restarts and I get this on my screen:

The strange thing is that I see no blue screen, the computer just restarts. How can I now make my laptop run the game without problems? I've tried a few things such as game booster and close all the other programs. But nothing helps, it is also very strange that even with a 3 km prologue the problem appears. While that's not so heavy, I think. The laptop doesn't stop always at the same moment. Sometimes it's in the beginning of the race, but sometimes it is at the finish.
If you can hear the fan then because your notebook is getting too hot.
Normally a 3D game will cause this because notebooks really are not ment to play games (even if they are sold as gaming machines).
There are several tips to prevent overheating but maybe your notebooks has a technical problem so I would try it with some more games or with some benchmark tools, you should be able to find free versions of them in the internet.
If it is unrelated to this game, then better return your notebook as long as it is under guarantee.
Else do this:
- Make sure that you do not block the air intake and outblow (never play on your lap or in the bed)
- Raise the laptop by putting it on 4 pegs (so that the air can flow underneath it)
- Use an additional fan (there are notebook coolers for sale if you don't have a fan)
- Open the lid of your notebook in case you are playing with an external monitor
