There is a chance that damage could have occred, but the shutting down was to prevent that. An overheating CPU can cause a lot of problems, so that could be it. |
I turned on MobileMeter the second I booted up, and the temps were at 50C.
It has been rising steadily since I turned it on, and now it's sitting at 58C.
This is really unnerving, because this laptop had heat issues out the box. I'll get a laptop cooler, but I don't believe it'll drop my temps by that much. I think my GPU may be overheating, or it's permanently damaged.
Whenever I turn a game on (World of Warcraft, in this case), the fans spin up faster (it's very noticeable). The load temps only reach 63C while I'm gaming, so I'm not breaking the 70C threshold. I wish I could see what my GPU temps were, and go from there. I'm pretty dead-set on the GPU being toast.
