^Check the threshold temp in power settings, and keep a track on temps via softwares like HWmonitor, and report them here.

run CPUID HWMonitor, run games at heavy setting for 10min. post a screenshot of the HWMonitor here. 3rd gen i7 have real heating problem.

also ice cool tech lowers temp of the palmrest. not the whole laptop. Also its not any tech. just placing parts that generate more heat are kept near the screen area lowers temp.

^This is due to TIM issue of IB I guess Sam ? (read it somewhere)

mayn't be. cause from what i have read if temperature shoots into hot zone, first processor will be downclocked all the way to 800Mhz till the laptop enter safe temp zone and then go back to base clock, not abruptly shut down.

also TIM issue is about desktop IVB. you can pry open the heatspreader and inside there got TIM. low quality TIM.

whereas the laptop processors doesn't have any heatspreaders. Maybe the processor is a bad one as even if heating, a brand new laptop shouldn't shut down. At least i have never heard a brand new laptop shut down cause of heat :-?

BTW are you sure laptop processors don't have heat spreaders ? :?

yup. definitely sure. heatpipe base is used as heatspreader.

then its a laptop problem. not with the processors itself. faulty electronics. maybe the processor is not downclocked and keeps heating up but first post a screenshot.

manual should carry another line at size 50 font "this laptop is not meant for gaming". seriously. take it to the shop and run a game. or just stress it using Futuremark or SuperPI. It'll shut down in a few minutes. though you can't claim for DOA where the whole laptop will be changed on spot. Even then you should get a new laptop of same model.

max safe value is 108. 90 looks high but if it stays constantly around 90-95 then its fine. surely it crossed 100 in 10-15min. faulty cooling and 45W processor to blame here.

take it to the shop and ask them to replace it straightforward. don't go to service center. else you'll waste a month in fixing the problem.

The shopkeeper said at the time of buying.."If you buy HP, we will do all we can to get your product fixed BUT if you choose ASUS you will have to contact service center on your own"

Anyway I'll be going there tomorrow..and see what can be done..

He loves himself.
How compatible New Dell Inspiron series (new, IvyBridge one) is with linux. May sound slightly absurd question, but since the processor is new, I'm not quite sure if it's completely apt for linux (minus obnoxious heat etc) or not.
Also,
One of my friend (not linux user) will buy laptop soon, possibly within few days itself. This new series is recommendable, right?
