in XP bootcamp, during overheat.. Games will crashed instantly and back to desktop or computer black out completely..

SO far only two games i tested encountered issue like this more often.

dead space & burnout.
If using a USB fan to blow on the machine. the part near the LCD hinge on our left hand.

It seems to working nicely for at least 1 hour plus. I don't play game too long hours. So couldn't hundred percent sure it is allow for hours of game activities.

SOmetimes i really not sure issit the game installed issue. or some visual C++ stuff.. or any related to graphic card drivers..

I still cannot launch Itunes under XP in bootcamp. 

p/s: i want to play bioshock... Now getting a demo version to test issit really my machine not supported.. Sounds ironically..haha..
I can play prototype at high res...Compare to desktop 8600M. the Machine still feels lagging a few fps.

Wow, your Bootcamp really has problems. Bootcamp is essentially running native Windows, there shouldn't be any difference between XP on Dell and XP on Bootcamp in Mac.
But even the new Macbook Pros do that (crashing to desktop when its too hot), even gaming laptop does that. My Macbook crashes on certain games around the 3-5 hour mark (I usually play at night). When it crashes, I know i've had too much gaming, I wouldn't fret about the data lost cause fretting over it would just make me start the game back up tongue.gif. I actually like it when it overheats after 4 hours of gaming, it snaps me back out to reality. When it doesn't crash and goes on past my 6-7 hour gaming time (I play at night >_>), I usually don't go to sleep and suffer afterwards.
And games which focus on alot of CPU power crash more often, as Sims 3 crashes on me more than Overlord II, and Empire: Total War more than Street Fighter.
