Well, I guess this is a "me too". I haven't actually bothered reporting anything
until now as I've grown quite fond of the computer resetting and that famous
"recovering journal" message ;-)

I don't have overheating problems in windows, even while running very
cpuintensive games, but things like running aclocal while compiling software
will easily kill my poor laptop... Same story here - fan switches on until it
gets rather loud, then black screen and a lovely reboot.

The laptop in question is an elitegroup g556e (
