    PCSPECIALIST Octane series laptop: Is it a hot lemon?

    Its always run hot.. We were getting temps of 86-90 degrees when the machine was at full load. Given the issues we have had with ours i wonder if the constant heat is causing components to fail prematurely? Sometimes the games would crash out seconds after starting them, i dont think that is...
