   That really sucks. How long did you have your laptop running non-stop before that happened?

   Doesn’t matter whether it was a Dell or not - overheating problems are going to become more commonplace as more powerful processors that run hotter continue to appear.

   Using a cooling pad under the laptop doesn’t even offer a lot of help these days.

   Note to self: must do more backups of local computer and web server.
