Laptop Video Card Overheating?

[roninblade]

So im playing San Andreas and just started a new game, about 5 min into the game the picture starts to get all wavy and stuff, no distortions or anything else you would see with normal video card overheating. any suggestions on what else it could

Wavy, like the heat blurring effect?

 

[roninblade]

yea, like looks like when u see the heat come off the road in the summer, so it is a heat problem?

It might be. It also could be your video card dying which would not be good, obviously.

 

[roninblade]

yea when it starts to do that and the bottom of the laptop is BURNING

This seems an obvious sort of thing to do, but... try it with another game?
