T60p + Advanced Mini Dock + Vista = Overheating ?

#1 Post by NAZAR » Sat Feb 17, 2007 5:23 pm

First of all i'm sorry for bad english. Now my problem:

I'm using Windows Vista Ultimate on my Thinkpad T60p (2007-FBG) that is docked with Advanced Mini Dock. When i'm playing Crimsonland (video game) my notebook gets very hot. So hot, that when i'm quitting the game, Vista is shutting down. But when i'm playing on undocked notebook everything is fine, temperature is normal and no more overheating.

I think it's ventilation problem, any suggestion how to solve this issue?

I'm using video drivers that Windows software auto-update found for my Ati FireGl 5200.

I am having a similar problem and even called tech support. My personal belief is a crappy driver somewhere that is affecting the temperature. Tech support was no help in solving the issue. The most they could do for me was leave the case open and call me when they have a resolution.
