LAPTOP+BATTLEFIELD = BAD!

i think me and marcel found out that our laptops dont make good BF2 machines. we have both been having our screens freeze for a few seconds over and over again. Both laptops get hot. mine gets REALLY hot i even use a two-fan cooling pad. it gets so hot that if you touch the back vent it burns you. i was just playin for about an hour and my cpu started freezing and then it overheated and bluescreened and shut off.

does anyone know of anyways to keep it cooler?

sit in your freezer? :9

When is the last time you have opened up your laptop and cleaned all the dust/dirt off the fans...ect....

Renger i play on a lap top too.I dont know what is your position for playing but if that is happening you probably close the ventilations system so hot air can not come out ,and your graphics and CPU is overheated. It happen me ones but after that all i need to watch is not to block ventilation and everything is going well. Ventilations system is on the back side of a lap top(on most lap tops) so do not block it and everything is cool.

One thing to keep it cooler is to make sure your video card is dedicated and your CPU is dual core. And make sure your insides are clean and your drivers are updated. Elevate the laptop about 3 inches minimum. I fried our ACER single core with shared video card memory playing Rune Scape. FYI this was like idk, 5 years ago?

I about fried my old P4 laptop... Thing had a desktop processor in a laptop... Thing was 100 degrees within a couple mins'! I would make sure you have all air ports open and good air ventilation.
