Welcome to the real "Wow" experience. Unfortunately many nVidia 8xxx owners complain about the same, it just crashes for no reason at all!

What you can do:

1. Update your drivers to the latest one available at nVidia's website: www.nvidia.com
2. Disable Aero by turning off transparency & animations under Appearance window.

Disabling Aero on a computer which has proper support for Vista will slow down the UI, not speed it.

It is not the fault of Windows Vista, this is a bug in the graphics card driver, blame nvidia for this.

most proabaly its temparature problem.

keep the laptop on flat surface, not on bed/lap when gaming.
look under the lappy, there are few air vents (one for CPU, gfx. card, HDD too), make sure they are not blocked when you keep the laptop on ur lap.

d/l some temp. monitoring s/w (like m/b monitor)

try "Intel Desktop Utility" if its supported by your m/b.

Hi,

As of yesterday, I am experiencing the same problem. I've had my m1530 for about a month now, and when I first received the computer I downloaded the appropriate "tweak" driver at Laptopvideo2go. Everything was just peachy until yesterday, when my computer shut down in the middle of a game (World of Warcraft) and refused to stay on longer than usual. I let it stay off for awhile and started it back up to let it cool down, but now all game performance is sluggish and the computer shuts down after about 10-15 minutes of play. I tried undervolting it a bit, and this does keep it cooler, but the game just doesn't play the same... I'm on hold with Dell support as we speak, but I imagine that this phone purgatory will last awhile.

Any suggestions?
